hi, im sculpting a Leaf, any ideas to make the upper lines (the veins) of the leaf? one cant rotate the lines (borders of the faces) to 45 grades properly.

Hi,

play around with the pipe tool in form mode

i get what you are saying, but is there a way to do it directly using the face lines?, if i use pipe to create those modifications it will make longer and harder the final bendings of the organic form

Hi,

I am not an expert with the form tools, and would therefore try Loft.

that is an interesting way of doing it, i will try it later. but in my original question i meant the leaf`s other side, the sinking caused by the vein

Hi,

That shape must first be modelled before creating a loft body with tapering along the path.

hi, i found the solution, one can draw on the sculpting enviroment. can you please thicken this for me to get a thickness of 1.2mm and a flat back surface, and maybe add more detail on another software? https://a360.co/3iXKl1x

Good luck with the thickening. You violated every possible guideline with respect to proper T-Spline design 😉

There are too many triangles in your leaf.
Too many n-gons with more than 5 vertices.
In box-view mode, you can see a number of self-intersections.

If you eliminate those or reduce them by at least 90% you might have a chance of thickening this.

it is not hard, there may be self intercepting on box mode but not in normal mode, i have no problem switching enviroment, and those ngons are intentionally. im asking if there is a direct way, usually on fusion there are always complications for simple process, like the old scaling bug.

hi again, i thickened it: https://a360.co/32ZzsXB

it may sound weird but i was never able to access to box mode on my pc

can you please help me to fix those 2 edges? the one of the left

apparently fusion 360 adds randomly angles to edges after thickening something

I guess I have to be a bit more blunt: Your geometry is crap and self-intersects! That's the reason it does not convert.

Itself intersects here. Visibly! Fix that and maybe use Utilities->Repair body and it might convert OK.

so what you are saying is that you cant fix just 2 crossed edges on a thickened body? ok. dont worry, i will do it.

Re: sculpting enviroment

TrippyLighting — Thu, 24 Sep 2020 21:46:06 GMT

I pointed out the area of concern so YOU can fix it.
Obviously, I CAN, but why would I?

it took me less than 5 minutes to thicken the body and fix the edges on wireframe view, you MUST remember this is a support forum. people came here to learn.

That does not mean I have to do your work for you.

You ignored my advice about proper T-Spline modeling techniques.

I've provided over 1600 solutions on this forum and I know wasted cause when I see one!

your proper techniques dont apply here, since the number is the minimun for the design to work on forms, also your mistake identification was also wrong the mistake wasnt in the upper side, it was on the lower side. your mind is the lost cause.
