STRAT Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 i'd personally draw and shape a 3d spline in exactly the possition/direction of where you want the stringer to go, in 3d space, then simply loft a rectangle along it using the compound objects loft option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noi-pi Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Make a Spline (Line) to where the stringer runs.... Now select the spline sub-object of the Line... Activate OUTLINE on the geometry rollout and enter your value (thickness)... Then apply Extrude modifier for the height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One part fine, other part turning 90degree. See? And with all methods the same thing. Thx What is the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. Maybe its a matter of the loft "banking" along the curve.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while I’m using ur advise it extrude height, but should do with width.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noi-pi Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 The value for the Outline will serves as your width....that is before you applied extrude modifier. Its the simplest solution I could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
