      **Need a how to: I want to use the push/pull tool (I think) on the left front quarter panel of a car....I want the highest point to be at the front of the car just behind the head light...From that point on, I want to continue to the rear panel going lower until I reach the back of the car....Sort of a hill going back down in the rear. 😕

      Thanks for any help you can supply..

          Why would a person take the time to be a smart ass instead of helping....Now, to answer the question, perhaps you should give a person the respect that eye problems have caused in their life...

          Just a thought...

            I think we need to get back on track here.

            Can you perhaps post some image illustrating what you want to achieve? Makes it much easier to get an idea of what you want. (I'm not that good at visualizing text...)

            ( btw, as for the text size, I'd recommend that you increase the text size in your browser rather than formatting the text larger. In most browsers it's Ctrl & +. That way you get all the text larger. And you avoid the problem that you appear to be "shouting" when posting - like when people post in all caps. )

              Hi folks.

              On Windows, using the CTRL key and the mouse wheel allow you to zomm in/out in all applications.

              In IE it will make the text larger or smaller.

              Press the CTRL key and while keeping it pressed, roll the mouse wheel.

              Just ideas.

                Hi, 3eighty:
                Without seeing your model or an illustration, I am thinking that pushpull alone will just get a volume with constant cross section. Then you would have to scale down the end face by preferred axis x, y, or z. You could do progressive(sequential) pushpull and scale at intervals of your choice, even setting up a progression baseline with predetermined intervals. Does any of this help?

                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                  In general, I think that a lofting tool, like Fredo's CurvyLoft, is something that would be the main tool in modelling a car.
