Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Endsweep & curve projection issue
I'm making a steampunk machine, and I want to make a curved flange to go around the base of any funnels or pipes which protrude from the body of the machine. I hoped to project curves onto the body, and then loft them from there.
I have lofted the body together from several nurbs circles and deleted the history, but I have found that I cannot project curves onto the body where the seam is, because the projected curve is cut in half!
I wanted to know how I could move the seam to the bottom of the body.
ps. The body is asymmetrical so I can't just rotate it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

SOLUTION!
I keep a rubbish bin of groups and objects I've finished with but which may be useful later.
I still had the Nurbs circles I lofted to make the body in the bin!
I selected each Nurbs Circle one by one, and rotated them on their local axis by 180 degrees. I then relofted and voila! I had the seam on the bottom.
I'd still like to know how to fix this, as it will likely be a problem in future, and I may be unable to just pull the circles out of the bin.
