          Pilou,

          I understood it still not likely. The Curviloft object is a new group. The two components remain as components. The Curviloft object you can edit and change. Or you explode all objects and then you can change the result as you want.

            That is the problem 😄
            Imagine : you have your gem
            Just edit the component (face) and you will have an infinities of variation without pain 😉
            But alas that is not possible 😞

            Here example with Component Stringer
            I modify just the component and all is modified

            and here with Curviloft

                  This is a great thread, but is anyone else experiencing problems with pages loading, supposedly because of the sheer amount of image files having to load? I'm finding this thread pretty slow to view. 😞

                      Hi Curviloft Fans,

                      some CurviArt variations from a basic form.

                          Thanks, Charly. I hope to tame the powerful beast with the insights you have shared, or at least not be consumed by it.

                            When I've got the transitions previewed (in black), I find I am unable to orbit to really inspect the thing (like you do, Rich, in your demo tuts). If I try the operation is cancelled. Is there a secret?

                              Charly,

                              I have an irregular column shape I'm trying to make using curviloft. Stitching the circle and the shapes together should have worked but it did not. Do the segments on each shape have to be equal in number?
                              also the top of the planter is not flat it should be from with a curve in the z plane. Not certain how I would construct this.
                              How can this be done? See attached skp file.


                              column.skp

                                Is this the result you seek?
                                Select the three 'profiles' of edges and run CurviLoft.
                                The initial result might be somewhat twisted, because the top circle's 'start' is rotated relative the the 'starts' of the other curves... but you can easily relocate that point around the curve in the tool.... before committing to the form...

                                  The start point may not matter depending on the Vx setting.

                                  Note the black previews which if I orbit during, causes the whole operation to be discarded.

                                  The first pics show 1,2,3 from the bottom up.

                                    Hi all,
                                    Watching this tutorial, I found the window (red arrow) in the photo.
                                    Does anybody know tell me the path to find it?
                                    Thanks in advance
