I redo this part many times

Is the model, that you’re projecting the circles onto, a flat plane?

The plane is parallel  
notice that 2 upper circles have no problems

Aha, the ones with the ‘white dots’?

Have you tried deleting them and then duplicating the ‘good’ circles?

How did you make the two non-circular circles? Have you used any of the copy, mirror, or project tools?

I did a little Frankenstein surgery on it with intersect sub and union tools  
It worked ! 🙂

Glad to see that, but I’m a bit suspicious about losing the circular properties. Do you happen to have the original workspace to share with us?
