art Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Hello all, I'm running VW9 I am trying to extrude a 2-D molding profile along a curve (as in a doorway arch). My problem is I can't orient the 2-D surface perpendicular to the path I want to sweep. How do I extrude my 2-D profile along a curve into the page instead of straight back? Art Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 Check out the Extrude Along Path command in VectorWorks 9. You should be able to use it to create an extrude that follows any 3D curve. Quote Link to comment
art Posted December 28, 2001 Author Share Posted December 28, 2001 thanks - I'm not having any luck with extrude along path command. If there's a FAQ or someguidance I'm all ears... However, I did figure out a method of creating my curved molding by sweeping the profile then rotating it 90 degrees and trimming it to length Quote Link to comment
mike46 Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 you could try rotating the profile object to a position with the long side verticle and the side that represents the thickness horizontal Quote Link to comment
