Chris not idea without seeing a file. Can you covert it to surfaces and then try it? Also make sure to use a .0001 tolerance on your spin profile, will take a little longer to process, but I have found it best to get the best shape possible. Also a topic like this should be posted in the Industrial forum and not the post forum. Thanks for keeping things in the correct place.
