Hi, I’m trying to create some glasses and to create a surface between three curves. Using sweep 2 I can only select two rail curves.
What’s the best approach to leave a hole for the lenses (=third rail curve). You can see the surface I want to create, it’s colored in Red:
Hi,
You need to approach this a little differently from just “here’s the wireframe, how to I fill this in?” You’re not going to get very clean or efficient NURBS that way. Look at the Level 1 and 2 training that comes with Rhino. Just for an example, to get a better start on this, you need to imagine what it looks like WITHOUT the lenses cut out, and/or how an individual lens looks with the…do they call it the bridge?..a separate piece that’s added after.
Hi Jeroenvancraen12, There are some youtube videos on sun glass making out there. You can to it in a subd form.
If you are just wanting to get something that is simple , try extruding a curve . then make your cutting curves. Cut the extrusion and then thicken it. Would you want a pair of glasses like this ? Probably not ,but it gets you the hole you wanted. good luck — Mark save to forum.3dm (317.8 KB)
Thanks Mark, extruding the curve worked. It changed the design a little but it’s just a prototype after all. Thanks for your reply.
I’m first going to check into the youtube video’s of Mark, then I’ll have a look at those
