hehwell you have a curve, then you have another curve, and another to define the shape of your object, then you use the loft tool to build the actual surface

first of all, what I really wanted to make, was the wire (a curve) with an area of a rectangle....
I did this in 3DSMax once... that's why im trying to do it here... . There, you simply select a curve, then select a function which you wana use, and then it gives you an option: what shape would i like to make the area of whatever curve I draw... and then you draw a shape.... and you select it,... and it gives you this perfectly beautiful cord with a shape of whatever 2D figure i drue for the area... ....
i'm really trying to do this in Maya,,,
thanx for any help you can offer...

If it doesn't follow the path, in the channel box, you should see the extrude channel. Select it and turn the first 2 "off" options "on."
