I've fixed a few of these things by making a block around the plan, completely encasing all geometry. Select all, intersect with selection and delete the unwanted.

Thanks, much appreciated how does this work??? I am trying with this but so much I just don't know

Some welding, redraw one line, an intersection and some cleanup later...

Thanks!!!! what line needed to be redrawn and how to intersection help? How did you figure where the problems where the stray lines plugin only showed one.

thanks again jasemilly

Used the stray lines plugin and it found one which I connected install and use very easy, thanks!!!

but it still won't pull up. I cant see what's wrong. Hoping someone could point out what I have done wrong.

I have followed a jpeg image of floor plan and the shape won't close so I can't pull the walls up. It's quite a complex floor plan, whats the best method for finding where the faults lie??

thanks

I was working on the full Hull, I didn't save it thought no point as it had become a real mess.

I am sure I was doing something wrong with the tool but as I pulled it out the shape it didn't happen uniformly.

have created a hull of a boat using curviloft, and it looks ok. I would like to add a thickness to this shape.

I have tried using the joint push pull tool but it just becomes a mess.

What's the best way to add thickness to such a curved shape?

thanks for peoples thoughts.

Am I right in thinking that these would be the steps.

Create a rectangle that has a depth less than my flute,

Create my pattern on this rectangle

use the bend tool to turn this rectangle in to a cylinder,

put the pattern over the glass then open up the glass oblect and intersect.

Remove the patterned cylinder and tidy the original glass flute?

thanks

Hi

everyone, I know how to make things like cups,vases, glasses etc.

But say you want to make a fancy glass like a champagne flute and it has a pattern cut into the outside of the glass, how should you tackle that?

thanks
