Modelling from 2D [basin]
-
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,

ummm...you forgot the skippy.

Any ideas.....?

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

Thats what I thought, TIG. But do you think I could find a good car tutorial!!!
Thanks for the reply.
EDIT: Just found one on 3DWH... Thanks TIG!
