while I still can´t open it due to the following -> Maya binary file parse error: : (6) corrupted file structure;
I try to image what it could be.


first of -> make sure all of your profiles have history deleted - very important. secondly, the profiles have to intersect each other which means curvesnap the first profile when setting up next profile and so on. after you have your profiles tweaked to your pleasance and deleted history again on all curves -

-very important-

go Edit Curves -> Cut Curve.
this cuts all curves at their intersection points. only if your curves are sepparated the birail tool will work out well. that was my pain in the ass once which kept me thinking for some days..

but I´m not into curves and nurbs really, so it could be anything else!


But:
Result: dspBirailSurface17 dpBirailSrf17

means when performing the birail operation your surface was created! maybe try executing this command ->

select dspBirailSurface17 dpBirailSrf17 ;


in the Script Editor. you have selected the created surface then and might go to the hypergraph/outliner and have a look at it.


everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
