Extrude along path command??


Recommended Posts

I am trying to extrude a shape along a path and I notice that is no reference anywhere as to what point of the object follows the path. I am using 11.5 and most other programs allow you to select what point will follow the path, but not VW.

What's up with this??

Anyone from NNA reading this??

I find no reference in the manual at all to the orientation of the object that will follow path.

A feature with no instructions...........other than follow path. Not a great help here!

Thanks,

I think you will find that it uses the 'centre of gravity of the object.

Once you have created the extrude along path object you can move the profile relative to the poth object so that it uses the location you want.

Just double click on the object and choose Edit Profile. Then move the object so the point you want the path to be on is located at the origin point (the intersection of the two dotted lnes).
