A little help with splines and sweep

I´m not sure why you draw glyph by glyph as we can´t do any Boolean operation with Splines:

I didn't draw glyph by glyph, that was the logo company. That's why I retraced in cheetah this way:

This is an imported svg from the AI file the logo company gave me, a complete mess for 3D.

@frank beckmann I'm sorry for the confusion, but I was not using those paths to do the sweep. Those were there as a visual aid to trace my logo again, I forgot to delete them, but they're not being used for the sweep.

The Cantisani.2 path is what I was using for the sweep.
 
Thank you for taking a look, perhaps if this is not user error, it could be checked by Martin for a later update, I tagged him in an earlier message but not sure if he followed up.
 
Best to write explicit Bug reports per Bug with examples and thread links per email - if there any. So he could keep his bug tracker list in a clear manner.

This is just a side node from a vector veteran with a penchant for design hygiene:
I only use vertical or horizontal aligned anchors, 1node for curve high-points and 1 for corners:
As a result I used a maximum of 122 nodes.

Awesome. I never knew that was important, I know nothing about vector design :censored:.. so you did trace it again? do you think I can have your interpretation to analyze it?
 
The company is photologo.co, they serve thousands of photographers with signatures for their photos. It was not expensive, I believe it was around $48 US dollars, and they claim that every logo is hand made in natural media (paper) and then scanned and traced in Illustrator. Looking at the curves, if that was the case I don't understand why the designer made each glyph separately as if it was a computer typography and not something hand made. :rolleyes: Very suspicious.

:mad: Why the design coy used hundreds of superfluous control points is a mystery to me as well.
:D Thank you, Frank, for your example of "proper" spline methodology. Like you, I attempt to work on the basis of simple, sparse and - if possible - elegant geometry in my 3D models. It makes design-work more transparent, intuitive and flexible.
* Not that I understand why the spline of the profile flips (in the samples of Joel Ruiz, Frank an me).

* Cheers to Hamburg!

Same doubts here as I´m not able to bring the marketing videos and the delivered lettering together. Maybe they develop whole font sets - maybe.
I´m pretty good at finding fonts but due the amount of ligatures all Font identifiers fail pretty easily.

Cheers
