Hello,

I made a volume with vertical stripes. I want to achieve the same volume with 45 degree stripes. The volume changes when I rotate the top face 90 degrees. Maybe there is a solution to this problem.  
Thanks in advance.

Hi, if you have created the body by lofting at least three cross-sections, please rotate the cross-sections before lofting. In your example the top section by 90°, the middle section by 45°. The gradual rotation will result in a smooth transition and will not affect the shape that much.  
I am not if the 45° and 90° will give you the result you are looking for, but I hope to rotate the sketches helps

Hello. You have to make the strips separately and then remove them from the body.

But if you want to be more precise, you can play with strips before removing them from the main body.
