elliptical scale modeling

[zetadierre]

Goodsera forwarded

attached I show the elliptical scale that I have to model. I would like some advice on how to make the continuous loft under the steps to get a unique solid, how to create the handrails (for now it is enough like this). I read that there is a command to create a 3d spiral (I could use it for an extrusion on the path to the handpiece) but I tried to read by manual and I don't understand a h! Could you help me? Thank you. :smile:

If we stay tomorrow? I have difficulty concentrating on these matters at this time;-)
It's not easy anyway. I recently built a helical ramp. I'm looking for the file tomorrow and then I'll tell you how I acted.
I do.

thanks! a domani (oggi ndr)

with the 3d spiral you can create structures with circular pattern, not elliptical type. its use is quite simple. Put yourself in front view, draw a vertical line (axis of the spiral) and call back the command.

so on two feet, since the steps you have already made them (make a test copy though) I would convert them to mesh, I would marry for each lower vertices so that they coincide with those of the previous step.
I would take the extract tool (curve extraction) and select the lower segments of the steps.
so doing you get a set of nurbs curves that you join with the compose command.
You do it on both sides... and so you find yourself with two "binaries" to use the loft tool.
otherwise you can start from the 2d spiral, configure it with thickness, explode, stretch it to make it elliptical, convert it to nurbs and... crazy to assign to each summit a different z... but you don't
seeing your image I would use method 1
I do.

Mazurca urca!

This afternoon there's a lot of stuff to do.

Thank you very much, place the results tonight (spero).

Sorry I could start now.

but if I create directly the nurbs in 3 sizes taking the edges with a curve nurbs for interpolated points is not the same?

but is there no way, once a curve nurbs began, to rotate the view and maintain the curve in processing?

mh.. Can I somehow fill those empty triangles?

puoi watering at the nurbs bitch

mh... no, sorry

Thank you.

Listen, but if... I realized that I should extend every step towards the outside without remaking the whole staircase... Tell me there's a way, please!

 

[lory.b]

Are the steps extruded? double click on the steps and add the polygon...

I don't know. I'm doing it again:4410:

What do you think?

 

[lory.b]

I think it's a good job.
I do.
