Create Surface from 2 lines.

[luiselmau]

Hello all.

 

i have two lines, one is a spline with one arc and the other is a simple line a want to create a surface that starts with the shape of the first line and finishing with the shape of the second line.

 

How can i do that?

 

Sorry my english and thank you.

You can loft them by going to standard primitives then using the drop down compound objects and then choose the loft tool choose the first line then the second one

thank you but i can't do a loft with nothing selected so i select the first line and then chose to pick path and chose the second and the result isn't what i want i will upload a picture. i want to create a surface with the two blue lines in the picture.

ok or you can add a lathe modifier to your stack

thank you Tony but i realy don't understand how the lathe can help me, i dont want a revolve surface a want to create a surface that starts with the shape of an arc and ends in a line, like in the picture i upload. i know i'm a begginer in max this probably is very simple, but i don't get it. thank you.

Mmm the loft should work with the loft you choose the arc as the first shape then you choose the line as your second here is what i got Luis i dont see any photo of yours

If you do it the other way around then you'll get the same loft but on it's side. make sure you have the arch selected as the shape then choose the line as the path the loth is completed you SHOULD get what you want.
