Creating surfaces from NURBS


MWA

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have a very complex shape to make, and I have its outline made with 4 nurbs curves (or one large nurbs curve if they are composed)

Create Loft surface does not work....I was wondering if there is some way I can convert my curves to make a nurbs surface?

Thanks!

Lofting could work but it seems kind of difficult to get the curves correct in 3 space. Perhaps the pointy corners are preventing a successful loft.

You could also try starting with a curved extrude for the front face and then trimming/cutting away the edges and U-shaped voids.

At least 2 ways to do it:

1. Project Tool to trim with 2d objects - results in a NURBS surface.

2. Solid Subtraction to trim with several extrudes - results in a Solid Subtraction.
