Hi,
I need to use V5 GSD to create a surface using a curve and a point. It is like a cone, but more random. In V4, you can use surf1-curve to do this, but I can't find a V5 function. The multi-section surface won't let me pick a point.
I am lofting half of a distorted cone. At one end is half of the end curve; at the other end is a point. For guide curves, I made lines from either end of the end curve to the point.
Are you saying that I should make a short line emanating from the point, and use that as one of my definition curves?
And then use the Relimitation tab to make V5 think that I don't want to use the short line?
If so, it didn't work.
I am trying to figure how to post an image in these responses.
Hmmm - I'm not sure if this method will work since you only have 1 section curve. No - you don't need a short line at the point end - you just need to have the two guide curves (lines) meet at the point.
Boffin: I just tried to make your cone from a half-circle, and two intersecting guide lines - it didn't work with my directions. I guess you need more than 1 section curve when you use the multi-section surface
But I was able to make your surface by using a Swept surface. I used an explicit type, 'with two guide curves' using the half-circle for the profile, and the two lines for the guide curves.
