How to add surface to close body in sculpt?

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 06:53:18 GMT

Hi folks,

I've converted a body from model into sculpt, as I want it to maintain the proper dimensions (i.e., that's why i didn't create the cylinder directly in sculpt). Now i've modified the outer edge of the cylinder, and would like to close the surface. Any suggestions? I've tried importing the original cylinder ends into sculpt, but they end up being square planes...

thanks,

allie

Use Sweep, with Path and Guide Rail, then Stitch all for a solid, fillet etc.

No drama made in Patch from scratch....

Might help....

Can you share your model ? (export as .f3d and attach to your next post)

thanks dave... i'm new to sweep, and looking at tutorials now... in this case, did you make a line or something to use as the profile, which you then swept with the two curves that form inner and outer edges as path and guide rails? thanks...

Exactly,

A Line between both body edges, then the Sweep worked.

It's called Sketch > Project > Intersect, set to body, then click on each body,

connect your profile line to the purple end points of the resulting lines - top and bottom, and then 2 sweeps.

Might help.....

Wile that can be done, to create the object you are holding in your hands in the Canvas you don't need T-Splines at all.

This does not use any T-Splines and is parametric.
