pdrake2126 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 hi, i'm trying to create a solid like the first picture. i've created my nurbs curves, but the loft tool keeps throwing me an error. can anyone speculate why? thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 1, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 1, 2016 A first quick suggestion, if that center circle is one curve, slice it into separate arc segments that fit between each of the loft profiles, the Loft Surface tool seems to prefer everything being snapped end-to-end rather than taking a segment of a longer curve.

pdrake2126 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 i tried breaking it down into quadrants and still can't get an acceptable solution. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 What about trying the Subdivision Tool ? Starting with a plane, or maybe a quarter of it. And later thicken to solid if necessary ? Quote Link to comment
pdrake2126 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 ended up having to break it down into eights per side and joining 2 edges. it's weird that it took that much tweaking. Quote Link to comment
