Manic_d Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hi again I'm at the last stages of a tutorial I'm working through & I've got two more things that I am stuck on. 1.) I cant weld the vertices of the Arc & the Lines. (Shown here in the tutorial image) 2.) I cant Loft the spline to a shape. (Shown here in the tutorial image) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 1.) I cant weld the vertices of the Arc & the Lines. Are the Arc and the Lines separate objects? Make sure you Attach the Arc to the Lines before trying to Weld. You can't Weld two separate objects together. They have to be a part of the same object. 2.) I cant Loft the spline to a shape. It's hard to tell from the screenshot. Have you created a path and a shape? If so, select the path, click the "Loft" button, click "Get Shape" and then select your Shape. If it's not working, post the file here so I can check it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've selected the the path then clicked the loft button, but the "Get Shape" button is greyed out - why is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I don't really know? I've tried several different things but I can't reproduce the problem you are having. Can you save out a copy of your file and delete everything except the path and the shape and post it here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic_d Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 I can't upload it. It says invalid file - I think it's too big (1.6mb). Hang on, I'll upload it to a file hosting site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Well, I don't know what the problem is? It works fine on my machine. Try closing Max and then open it back up again. Maybe you just need to clear out the cobwebs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic_d Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Sorry to be a pain but it was the shapes in this file I was have trouble with. I cant weld the the vertices on the "upside down U-Shape" & then Loft it with the "tiny rectangle" New File Uploaded Here: http://www.fileden.com/getfile.php?file_path=http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/3/28/934986/Object.max * How comes I can't attach my MAX File?

Cad64 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 1.) Select the line object that you want to use as a path 2.) In the Modify Panel, get into vertex sub-object mode 3.) Window select the entire shape so that all vertices are selected 4.) Right click and select "Weld Vertices" 5.) Go back to the Modify Panel and get out of vertex sub-object mode Now you should be able to Loft the shape along the Path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
