Bevel shape (3D object) not rendered

[enrique.monzo]

I am creating an object using a 3D helix curve as a path, and a closed polygon curve as the bevel shape:


(The cube in the scene is real geometry)

If now I use the small closed polygon as bevel curve for the 3D helix shape, I get:



but the helix does not appear in the render:



Though, if I convert the helix to mesh using Alt+C:



now the helix does appear in the render:


but it means that is not possible to modify the path or the bevel shape later on, since this data is not available anymore after converting to a mesh.

Why the helix does not appear in the render unless it is converted specifically to a mesh (Alt+C)?
Is this a limitation of VRay? Or there is a way to render the helix without converting to a mesh?

> Why the helix does not appear in the render

Because it's a bug in the exporter. We'll fix this.

This should be fixed in next nightly.

Thank you very much, poseidon4o & bdancer!
I will check it as soon as it is available.
