      Hi All

      Sorry this must have been asked before, but cannot find the answer.

      Why does curve stitcher sometimes not make a smooth face between two curves.

      Every time i make the window left side stitches fine right side goes crazy.

      Tried exploding the curve and re welding same result.


      left side fine, right weird!!

        I would use Curviloft in this case...

          How did you draw the curves? It looks to me as if one might have been drawn in a different direction than the other.

          I agree with Cotty. I would use Curviloft.

            Interesting I thought it may have been something with direction path was draw.

            Curviloft is awesome but how do i alter the direction of a path so it works?

              You shouldn't need to change the direction of a curve but you can play with the Vx Matching if needed. It's in the toolbar that opens when you are using Curviloft.

              To be honest, you shouldn't really need a plugin to draw these openings. They can be made with the native tools.

                Dave thanks for the info

                Sandbox results are not as smooth as curve stitch as it stitches the curves together differently and i would rather not do it manually as there are lots of different windows all different dimensions.

                So what native tool am i missing?

                  Maybe you should try to create them without the gap (e.g. pushpull and scale the pulled face before deleting it).

                    Following your info if i am careful to draw paths in the same direction it works fine.

                    Thank you

                      I wasn't suggesting Sandbox at all. I described the process in one of your previous posts and Cotty has done described it as well. Plugins are great but you do yourself a disservice if you choose to use them instead of learning how the native tools work.

                      It's good you got the path direction sorted.
