Cannot create Tangent Relationship due to multifaced surface

[wallyanalogtools]

Hi,

I have successfully used Tangent Relationship in the past to show how a stylus interacts for an animation with a sinewave-type like surface. That surface was extruded from a single sinewave line in sketch. I now need to make a more complex (read: distorted) sinewave and can only do this by linking multiple curves and lines together to form the line/curve segment that can then be extruded into a body or surface to interact with my stylus body in an animation. Unfortunately, the face of the body is multi-faced because of the many line/curve segments that created this. As a result, I cannot get a tangential relationship to form between the stylus and ALL of the faces of the body.  How to make the body from a single, continuous face rather than many faces? Thank you for any help you can provide. See attached photos

See if the attached model, Body 24, will fit your requirements.

The process I used is outlined in this Blog Article and Video.  The sketch I started with was a projected sketch from your model profile.
