Sweep thickness problem

Iskenderus — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 18:45:47 GMT

I want to make a seashell, and sketched a spiral, profile and straight rail. Then I used a sweep command.

Looks everything good, but the thickness I used on profile has been thickened, so if I use "No Scale" it doesn't look like a shell, then I used "stretch" option, but it deforms the shell. How can I change it? Do I have a chance to change the thickness manually? Thanks in advance

Can you share your model ?

I believe I'd try that same sweep in the sculpt environment and then modify the base shape manually to get the desired form. Might be worth a try!

Do you have a version that retains the profiles from the Sweep used to create the extant Body? I wonder, what are the Construction Planes for?

I reckon I ran into the same thing you did- the truncated options for Sweep in the Sculpt workspace compared to Model. @jeff_strater, is there a reason for the difference- the lack of Path+Guide Rail, Scaling, etc?

Yes, it already contains profiles and rails. I used the profile on the bottom, but with sweep it thickens on top. Construction planes are created on spirals both ends in order to create the sweep around the spiral.
