Title: Help needed in SU - tips for making this curve get bigger
Post by: The Ferry Man on October 13, 2010, 18:57:50

Hi

I am trying to make the SR.N4 for the CCC and need some ideas, I am trying to make the side curve go round, and get bigger, as can be seen in the picture of The Princess Margaret.

I have tried numneruous ways, but cannot seem to achieve this...

Is this possible? I have made ine version with two guide rails, but the follow me only works for one  :-\

Thanks

TFM

Hmm, have you tried experimenting with the Sandbox? You can enable it by going to Tools > Toolbars > Sandbox. Select the 3 edges, the curve going upwards, the level curve and the the vertical one. Then press the first button "From countours" and see how it goes.

Not sure if it will work, but worth a try! :thumbs:

Window > Preferences > Extensions > Tick the Sandbox box.

See how that goes :)

What happens when you smooth it?

Only other thing I can think of is to do it in smaller sections and see if it has an effect.
