Matt D Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Dear All Does anyone know how to create a curved pipe or tunnel in 3d? I need to draw some large drainage/sewer tunnels which are curved. Help gratefully received. Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment
Oyvind Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Matt, 1) Draw the path. Use a polygon, polyline or nurbs curve 2) Draw the cross section 3) Extrude Along Path Quote Link to comment

Kool Aid Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Non-circular cross-sections have a tendency to behave very oddly. I abandoned the ? commissioned, by a major engineering firm ? development of a tunnel tool for this reason. Quote Link to comment
