Modelling a tramway
-
-
I’m running out of accolades for your wonderful trains and trams. A simple fantastic will have to do. I’ve always wondered how difficult it is to acquire dimensional plans and drawings for these little marvels ?
-
what AI tool are you using?
-
@L-i-am it is just the simple Nano Banana on gemini.
i used that prompt:
"Photographic image of the interior of a tram in 1975, traveling through the vineyards between Ellerstadt and Gönnheim, smoking passengers, conductor with money changer and uniform checking tickets, keep geometrie, bright sunny day at fall"

Eureka, I think you have it...

I started to model that tramway for a 3D Print.

3D Model is finished:
this is how the finished model should look like....

Killer result

is there a Pugin to draw rails along path?
-
ProfileBuillder would be a good option.
Or CurviLoft
-
I am using profile builder 1 but there is no option for rails
-
I can't remember v1 but v3 has an Along Path option that has rudinmentary support for branching paths.
-
I need a path in the middle and two rails (special profile) left and right, to follow the path.

Curviloft does a good job to be fair, not sure why you need anything else. Upright extruder perhaps (Or whatever it is called now).

With Curviloft the profiles can be offset from the path...
That does mean you need to do each side as a separate operation.
Or with ProfileBuilder 3 (or above) you could make an Assembly with a mix of Profiles and objects like bolts to do it in one sweep.
TIG's Extrusion Tools would do it too similar to CurviLofts approach.
