      Hey guys,
      I have a series of fixtures and fittings i want to model that are available in 2D dwg format.

      I've attached a skippy containing the plan, front and side of a 2D imported file and was wondering how is the most efficient way of creating the 3D?

      I recall seeing a short tutorial a while back of car modelling where 2D lines in plan and elevation were lined up and somehow used to map the surface but for some reason I can't find it!!! And it was before Chris's Loft tool was released...

      So anyway, any ideas would be much appreciated.

      BTW, attached is a pic of the basin in question....

      Many thanks,

      Just Curious...

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

              Look at some of the car tutorials on how to model a 3D car from 2D plans/elevations. A basin is no different.
