Andrew1 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hey all, I got a small question in regards to modeling, What I am after is the same result as using loft on 2 spline objects the path and the shape, however using loft it really screws up the orientation of either the target or the shape..., I can get by by manipulating the rotation of the shape , but it just is strange and I hate to use it..., I remember there used to be a simpler method but I forgot what it was....., I am also aware of extruding my shape to geometry and use path constraint, Can someone suggest another way..., I wanna lay specific shape base boards and I got the patch (spline) I got the shape (spline) now I need a solid solution lol. Hope this makes sense.., thanks. Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Buckley Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 no worries, the loft issue may be due to the numbering and alignment of the shapes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hey Dave, one more question if you don't mind, is there anyway I could store my custom shape in sweep modifier shape roll out, I know I'm being lazy here ... I just think that would be neat, I am pre-setting lots of signage frame components in spline mode for later use..... and if that would work that would be very helfull.
