Hi,everybody. I have a problem.How can I add a bending command to Shapr3d for Christmas candy cane like this?emphasized text
You canât. You can bend or rather extrude the cane shape. But not the revolved stripes⌠unless someone knows something I donât. Painting the stripes in another programs could be done
Perhaps the stripes can be flat ribbon spiraled as for a screw?
Best,
Tommy
Hereâs a visual simulation. Itâs not what it appears to be.
Like I said earlier, itâs not what it appears to be. I made ample use of the new Split Body tool.
Thanks!Happy Holidays.
Thanks!Happy Holidays.What I need is the bending function after rotation, not splitting the entity.
I think you are looking for the Sweep tool.
Thank ,Tommyn.
Happy Holidays.
You want a ârevolving sweepâ. Or you want to bend things. That would be cool but not likely to happen. The complexity of making the action happen is prohibitive I would imagine. Maybe if there was scripting.
I tried sweeping 3 canes close to each other along a 1/2 circle. Then, the using the move tool to rotate their ends to twist them together. They will rotate about 5 or 6 degrees before it generates a error. So that method wonât work. Fun to try though. Twisting 3 straight rods together works but there is distortion.
Yes,Iâm really looking forward to this feature .
