Curved glass panels - how
-
making glass panels is easy - just use line tool to draw a rectangle.
but seems that if my glass panel is curved and i use a combo of top/bottom with arc line and sides with line tool in blue axis - it does not make a face. Any ideas!

Well after some messing about i found that it can be done with the follow me tool. Whish it was a bit simpler though.

Syburn,
SU will only make faces to closed edges if they are coplanar. A curved surface is certainly not coplanar (the dges are not on the same plane).
Discover though that curves are also made up of (small) straight segments. So you can start "stitching" these endpoint pairs on the top/bottom curve to fill in the whole curved face and then soften the surface (Ctrl+Eraser tool).
Yet it is faster to draw a flat face first which has one edge with the desired curve (the rest can be anything). Now you can Push/Pull up the whole thing up to your desired height then delete whatever you don't need and keep only the curved face.

oh yeah thats another way - thanks for those tips.
