Hi All! I am having a heck of a time trying to model this decorative spiral sweep, I would greatly appreciate it if one of you could offer some advice!
I am trying to approximate the ornament on top of these columns, not exactly, but enough so that the general idea is there.
I have no problem creating the spiral and the profile curve.
However I cannot seem to get the geometry to taper down and terminate at the center point. This is as far as I can get:
Can anyone offer guidance here?
You could try adding a second curve with a tighter radius and use Sweep2.
Thanks for the response! I did try that earlier and unfortunately was not able to achieve the desired result. This is the same spiral rail scaled to the midpoint of the profile curve. What I need for this model is for there to be no empty space between each turn.
You can fill that with another surface which is what’s happening in your reference photo.
Thank you, Fred! That should be enough for me to get this done. Cheers!
