How to Curve across all 3 axis

[Karthik]

I am trying to design a roadbicycle handle bar. The challenge is the shape of the handle bar that goes from X axis to Y axis and to Z axis continuously. I couldn’t figure out a way to do this.

Anyone has any idea? Sweep, loft doesn’t work as these work only for sketches that lie on the same axis or plane.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

You want something like this? Lightweight fixie
In this case I used loft with a guidecurve.

Ohhh i see. Clever! Ok, now i get it. I will try to follow this technique. Really appreciate it! That was very helpful!

Thank you!

I generally use Sweep alone for handlebars or tubing. I rotate the arcs/curves on their pivot points to change the sweep direction in any axis needed.

I agree with @Stephen and generally use Sweep. Here’s a quick simple example of using it in 3D space.
