Can you provide a sample of a shape you are trying to create with line/spline and what you get for your first attempt at duplicating it and then the n-gon result?</P> Tue, 29 Oct 2019 13:36:35 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-modeling-forum/spline-modelling-and-box-modelling/m-p/9114670#M6959 leeminardi 2019-10-29T13:36:35Z
