hollister design Studio Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Doing a quick model of a landscape lighting fixture and wanted to connect the red shape and the blue shape to form the led reflector... screen grab: Would prefer to stick with solids if possible. Started to work along the workflow I used to use with Autodesk Maya and Max - then realized I had no idea how to do this in VW... I'm surprised I have never tried to do this. Quote Link to comment
Popular Post markdd Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 (edited) Loft Surface Tool. Convert both objects to NURBS Curves using the Convert to NURBS command and then run the Loft Surface Tool in the first mode. Select the corners that most closely align to each other of each NURBS curve and then click on the checkmark in the mode bar. Select Convert to Solids from the intermediate dialog that opens and then click OK. That should do it. Edited March 14 by markdd 5 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post VIRTUALENVIRONS Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 To add to the above directions, if you don't get the results expected, check the direction of the Curves. Select the curves, go to OIP, check on "show direction". Both curves should be in the same direction. 5 Quote Link to comment
