Des Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 HI Peter, There are a few ways to do this, but here is one quick way. 1. Draw your curved edge first. 2. Move copy it. 3. Use the projection tool to flatten it. The reason for this is so the curve blend is perpendicular to the edge. It will work with a single line but the points will distribute evenly which you may or may not want. 4. Use the Nurbs by Lofting tool to get your surface. I've turned on "show points" so you can see that they have the same amount of points. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
