Dear All, I am trying to build a 1 mm thick bended tube that also shifts shapes (from square to circle to oval). I have built 2 skeletons, one is larger by 1mm in perimeters, used lofting with curviloft on each. than closed the 2 separate shapes, put the smaller into the middle of the larger, re-grouped it and extracted the smaller. the result looks like a tube, and it is solid, but when it is sliced up, there are a lot of errors.
the problem comes from when i use curviloft, the shape it suggests are twisted, and when i un-twist them, i cannot make it completely same for both the larger and the smaller shapes. hence when they are merged, there will be holes inside. please see the picks.
would anyone be able to help how to make such a 1 mm thick tube?
thanks in advance
