I have a desire to make some designs for sake of practice that are abstract in nature. For some of them I want to sweep along a Bézier curve but I would like the sweep path to move in all three axis (axises?). When I make a curve and select a point to move with the move tool, all the points and not just the selected one moves in that direction.
A work around I’ve tried to play with is a revolve with depth; really and truly, that is the idea of what I’m after, I just don’t want to be locked in on radial and symmetrical geometry. I’ve made some cool stuff with that technique, but I want to push the creative side of it more.
No, 3D splines have been requested but no word on implementation. Last I checked they’re not on the radar of the team or a high priority. Although I would also like to have them implemented.
@Xdrakosha Will they connect as a single sweep? I haven’t tried since the update but prior it would only go to the end of one sketch on a singular plane.
Just to give you an alternative option. You can just ignore the sketches and sweep around solid bodies instead. I’ve found this a lot more efficient when modelling conduit and pipes.
Dang. I dropped two questions a few days ago and checking back they’ve both been answered in a very robust manner. I like Shapr3D but I love the skillset and cordial attitudes of those who use it. Every post (at least for myself as a new user) needing to be approved by a mod is a nice touch, too, especially considering this is oriented around business growth. I like that quite a bit I think.
Definitely will keep this forum in mind as I make more laps around the sun. Thank you all for the help.
