tips on the most effective method to manage solids on a curved surface

[Silvia_8.9]

autocad accepts only lines. I tried to build solids and extract the edges to see if he accepted the solid cage at least, but he kept accepting only lines. However it is a useful plugin.
autocad is far from being a real solid modeler, so if you want to work with complex solids it is better to evaluate software that also allow to deform solids with ease

Just to give an example, image 1 summarizes everything I've been able to do with autocad.
other images are the result of the application of 2 3dsmax modifiers with which it is possible to deform solids with extreme ease.

There's a huge difference. as you said in some post ago, autocad is great for the 2d, and I think I will use it exclusively for this. for modeling and rendering I'm learning cinema. Hopefully?

- draw two lines that correspond to the width of the auction
- with the plugin the transports on the surface and become spline
- loft on the two splines, and become a surface
- thicken and a solid "normal" is created to the surface, which then follows the curve to which it is to be shaped

see the image I posted above, you write more about it than to do it. :

I wanted to try with a different shape from the cylinder. Yes, you can also work with autocad. with a little patience come out beautiful things thanks to that plugin.

I continued to think about how to wrap the drawing 2dalong the circumference of a cylinderthis is made with the regions, shortly with the solids.

with the autocad plugin?

 

[rpor66]

no, with a little lisp program that I sketched today
