    I am trying to add camber to my track. I know that I can put multiple "shapes" as the profile along the loft, but it just doesn't seem to be working. I have two shapes one is a completely level 10m wide track profile and the other is rotated to give about 5 deg of positive track camber. It just isn't doing anything. I have looked for appropriate tutorials but cannot find one that discusses this directly.

    Thanks for any help in advance

    You need to rotate the shape in the loft, not the shape object itself before you add it into the loft.

    If your track is a constant width all the way through, you only need one shape that you would "re-select" into the loft at the section where you want to have camber. Remember to repeat the flat shape of 0° before the banked section.
