Nicholas Kargel Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm trying to model a lectern, with the shape of a hollow, partial cone. I have most of the shape made with a multiple extrude. Now I need the top to slope down toward the back. I get an error with split tool, and subtract solids. Can't convert my multiple extrude into anything, either. The screen shot shows the extrude I'm attempting to use to subtract. Any advice? Quote Link to comment
Nicholas Kargel Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 And I just solved it. One of the polygons in my multiple extrude had an extra vertex, and wasn't closed. Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 When you get the shape you want I would suggest rebuilding the geometry with NURBS. Extract the curves that define the top and bottom and try lofting between them. I've found that while the multiple extrude is easy to use it creates a lot of extra geometry.
