Free transform a shape
-
I'm trying to create a fire pit shape for a landscape plan. I cant get the retaining walls edges to slope down.. I know it must be simple.. can someone please show me how to do it?
-
Curvishear, push pull up, erase extra, then curviloft to skin the top. I adjusted the top faces a little to smooth the profile at the peak. To adjust just a few edges and faces downward, you have to draw edges to break the curves that curvishear created so the edges move independantly of the curve.
-
To my mind the best shape would gradually round over to the other side and I am not sure how to do this simply. I suppose it is some exponential function whereas curvishear is a straight slope. But Dave's has a cool Gothic feel about it.

I like that one Frenchy. I couldn't open the file either. No matter.
-
As I can't reload your file i have no dimension
(Save as V6 for a more large audience
First forms are trivial then
I will use True Bend By Thomthom who bends a single group / Component
-
Or FredoScale-Box Tapering.
Front rectangles will be deformed and have to be corrected to keep the right angle
-
Heights are good...general bottom is a flat face but...
There is just a little default!
The facett ABCD is not a "plane" ! A quasi plane ! (like Curvy Shear, Shape Blender, Flowify)
So depend of what do you want exactly...image or build construction drawings!
So maybe use Upright Extruder
Edit: In fact not better! -

Following on from pbacot's post and pilou's suggestion to use an upright extruder. This method will give a uniform curve to the top edge.

If you don't have a version with Boolean you can use the French free"Bouffe tout" by BLB
(free register needing)
Volume(s) must be a unic volume Solide Component
Surface(s) must be a unic group (not a group of groups)
-
Else you have this cool one "Coupe" by BLB Bois! Was Free but now inside this a complet pack for wood makers! (39€ /year for 36 marvelous wood's plugins for Pro wood makers
works also for Make version
