- I’m following the motorcycle handlebar, part 2 tutorial. It’s a basic loft problem. After making the profiles as tangent to the spline as possible (visually, zoomed in), then clicking on the profiles, one by one, the result is a loft that doesn’t quite follow the spline. The tutorial says if that happens, click the spline. When I do that, the loft disappears. I’ve tried several variations, including selecting the spline first, then the profiles; same result. See screenshots.
Likely issue: profiles are not actually tangent to the spline? I have tried to make the profiles coincident with the spline, but I can’t make that happen. - I am trying to design a product that needs a tool like Loft, but the spline needs to be adjustable in 2 planes, similar to the handlebars in this sculpture by Picasso. The loft in the tutorial has only three points, but I am not able to select any point to move it in a given plane without the other two points moving as well. I have tried locking the points I do not want to move, but that has not worked. So the big question I have is how do I make a loft that is maneuverable in two planes?
I tried creating a simple spine, instead of a loft (see screenshots): same issue, I cannot lock some points while selecting and trying to move the other points off of the plane the spline was created on. - What is the little snowboard shape with the hieroglyphics inside it (lower right corner of the screen) for? I recognize most of the symbols: backspace, option, shift, command, etc., but I have no idea what is for…
I realize this is a lot of questions; I appreciate help on any of the topics. Thanks!
