Hi

I am trying to make/connect a mesh with two different profile cross-sections. ie. a cavern

I used ruled surface it seems to work on one profiles but if I try to
connect the last mesh profile it says "Cannot mix closed and open paths."

Is there a proper procedure or tutorial to do this?

Anything would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Bill

C my reply on the Autodesk newsgroup.

Also have you used EDGESURF ? It is great for that sort of object.

Perhaps you could give us a URL for your contribution to the Autodesk newsgroup.

PS Have you tried Rhino? As a surface man I think you'd really like it. There's a free demo to download at http://www.rhino3d.com/
