Offset a Path (like TOS but without a face)
-
Hi,
I'm trying to offset a downward curving line so i can creat a surface, which sort of rules out the TOS toolset.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Toby

Something like this ?

This is how I did it...
Select the Sloping path and use Didier's Extrude-Line tool to make a vertical 'curtain' that's well below where we are.
Tidy up the face orientation.
Select all of the faces and use Joint-PushPull tool to extrude all of the faces in one go along the short length of line you had added.
Now change the view so you can use right-left fence to select the bottoms of all of the extruded bits, leaving the top behind. You can keep the top-surface or erase it as desired...
There was a glitch around the middle but moving a vertex or two fixed it...
I've switch hidden geometry on.Slope.skp -
Thanks TIG
Can you point me in the way of the Extrude-line tool? I'll serach for it as well.
