surface question

[br0604bom]

how can i get a surface to go from a line on the ground, say on x axis, to go up and follow two different paths on either side, up to a line on y axis?

 

cheers to someone who has the answer

Can you post an example? Or an end product image? -David

can you see this okay?

 

right, so i never got the two lines as i would like but you get the idea,

 

for the surface to go from bottom cyan line to top cyan line and to follow both coloured lines, either side,

 

as said, both lines will be more loose splines, but this is the general idea

[kencaz]

Try lofting the two cyan lines using the red line as a path...

Do you need a surface or a region?

 

Edgesurf makes a mesh surface from 4 connected entities ( line,arcs,polylines,lwpolyines,spilnes etc ) So you could draw a 3D line from the end point of one line an end point of the other line for both ends. -David

kencaz, that is exactly it, thanks very much,

 

also, david this looks really neat, i will look into this further, always good to see different method and the results,

 

once again, cheers people:)

Given the limitations of edgesurf in 2008 I don't think I would fool with edgesurf.

JDM, Are there new limitations? In previous releases, there has always been a surftab 256m x 256n max. And it has been a little flakey in exact end points on very large values 1,000,000+ units. ? -David
