Extrusion along curve
Extrusion along a curve pushes one 2D curve along another 2D curve to create a 3D surface.
To create a an extrusion along a curve:
- Choose Modeling > Draw Curve or hold L, and draw the contour curve. Press End to close the curve.
- Choose Modeling > Draw Curve or hold L, and draw the path for the extrusion. Press End to close the curve or press Esc twice to end the curve without closing it and exit draw curve mode.
- Shift-select the contour curve then the path curve, in that order. The order is important. The first object is the cross-section, the second is the path.
- Choose Modeling > Create Surface > Extrusion along Curve.
The extrusion is created.
- To modify the extrusion, modify the curves used to create it, and/or adjust the extrusion parameters in the Parameter Editor.
