Aneesh Carvalho Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi All, I'm trying to create the different types of wainscot panels with parametrically controlled dimensions. I extruded a mold profile using the extrude along path node. However it does not rotate once it's created? Is there an alternate way to doing this? Definitely appreciating all the help I'm getting here Thank You Path Extrude Not Rotating.vwx Quote Link to comment
Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted April 26, 2021 Marionette Maven Share Posted April 26, 2021 Have you considered adding the EAPs to your panels prior to rotating them? Only rotating the one solid piece may be helpful. Quote Link to comment
Aneesh Carvalho Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi Marissa, Yes I have, however, I am not able to rotate the rectangle geometry to use as a path. Rotating 2D objects have been even harder for me as they never seem to work for anything I've been trying to build. So that's why, I've been creating 3D objects and then rotating them along the x-axis. Quote Link to comment
Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted April 26, 2021 Marionette Maven Share Posted April 26, 2021 Right, I'm suggesting you build the whole solid laying down first, make it a 3D object prior to rotating it to be perpendicular to the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment
Aneesh Carvalho Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 I see. That option - I have not tried, yet..... but I will give it a go now. Thank You Quote Link to comment
Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted April 26, 2021 Marionette Maven Share Posted April 26, 2021 You'll likely need to adjust some Z values prior to the solid addition - but just for visual clarification... Path Extrude Not Rotating_MFarrell.vwx 1 Quote Link to comment
Aneesh Carvalho Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Thank You @Marissa Farrell! This was really helpful. Is there a node out there that helps extrude a profile about a path at a specific reference point? It seems that by default, the profiles get extruded along a path from it's center only. Thank You!

AlanW Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 @Aneesh CarvalhoHi, in this network there is a node that extrudes along the edge rather than down the center. HTH DP by 2_ v2020.vwx Quote Link to comment
