The Q Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I'm trying to rotate an extruded object to eventually up with several rotations along a curved path, as in a braided wire. Is there a way to loft 2 shapes along a curved path and rotate one of the end shapes several times to end up with a braided look? I would appreciate suggestions. twist shape.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi Q, What if you Twist your extrusion, and then use the Path Bend (with the Facetted option). Does that do what you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Q Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yes, I did that ( with smooth option). Worked fine for what I needed. Curious, I wanted to round the edges of the twist curves, for a more reflective edge, but no luck. Additionally, sized up the image 1000 percent and still could not round the edges, is there another way to round edges? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Found if I round edges before I distort shape, worked fine. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
