Bill3D,
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, the node is still not being rendered. Here is the modified code plus the bsplinePath function. I will be grateful if you would try it.
```func cabinetKnob() -> SCNNode {
let controlPoints: [(x: Float, y: Float)] = [
(0.728,-0.237), (0.176,-0.06), (0.202,0.475), (0.989,0.842),
(-0.066,1.093), (-0.726,0.787) ]
let pairs = bsplinePath(controlPoints)
var knobProfile = [SCNVector3]()
for (x,y) in pairs {
knobProfile += [ SCNVector3(x: CGFloat(x), y: CGFloat(y), z: 0)]
}
let nProfiles = 64
// create knob by rotating knobProfile about y-axis
let aIncrement: CGFloat = 2 * CGFloat.pi / CGFloat(nProfiles) // ~6 degrees
var angle: CGFloat = 0
var knobVertices = knobProfile.map( { $0 } )
angle = 0
for _ in 1...nProfiles {
angle += aIncrement
// rotate knobProfile about y-axis
knobVertices += knobProfile.map( { $0.rotate(about: .y, by: angle) } )
}
let source = SCNGeometrySource(vertices: knobVertices)
var indices = [[UInt16]]()
var i: UInt16 = 0
var j: UInt16 = UInt16(knobProfile.count) // 1st vertex of next profile
for k in 0...nProfiles {
var stripIndices = [UInt16]()
if k == nProfiles { j = 0 }
for _ in 0...knobProfile.count-1 {
stripIndices += [i, j]
i += 1; j += 1
}
indices += [stripIndices]
}
let elements: [SCNGeometryElement] = indices.map( {
SCNGeometryElement(indices: $0, primitiveType: .triangleStrip) } )
let surfaceGeometry = SCNGeometry(sources: [source], elements: elements)
let aluminum = SCNMaterial()

aluminum.roughness.contents = 0.2
aluminum.metalness.contents = 0.9
aluminum.isDoubleSided = true
let modelMesh = MDLMesh(scnGeometry: surfaceGeometry)
do{
try modelMesh.makeVerticesUniqueAndReturnError()
modelMesh.addNormals(withAttributeNamed: "normal", creaseThreshold: 0.9)
let flattenedGeom = SCNGeometry(mdlMesh: modelMesh)
let flattenedNode = SCNNode(geometry: flattenedGeom)
flattenedNode.geometry?.materials = [aluminum]
return flattenedNode
}catch{

}
