MrTemplate Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Greetings; i'm trying to create a 3D piece of "cable". in top/plan view like the letter "S". but in 3D view, the "S" is a tube. i've looked at the latest fundamental manual but as usual it makes my eyes cross. is what i'm trying to create a nurb? how do i change the size of the "tube" after creation? sequential hints cheerfully accepted. TIA, shelley Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Try the "extrude along path" command. Quote Link to comment
MrTemplate Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 hello peter: that's it! you're hired! now i can make that little umbrella i was working on! thanks. shelley Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 No problem. Glad to help. BTW what's the pay scale??? Oh and things like umbrellas (that are symetrical and round) are probably easier to make using the SWEEP command. Also quite the cool tool ;-) Quote Link to comment
MrTemplate Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 thanks again for the help. i work in theatre, so the pay is a bit lower than you get in residential. i usually live in extrude and sweep. but for the 3d of the umbrella i used the hemisphere tool. thanks again. shelley Quote Link to comment
