Might need more information. :slightly_smiling_face:

That sweep looks sweet! :smiley: Not sure if that one line is supposed to be so 3D though.

Not sure which object is of concern here, maybe this curve…

Oh I see, your image is a side view of that curve. Now it looks less 3D than it did at first glance.

So you’re tryna sweep a circle into a square or somem… :thinking: :face_with_monocle:

Yeah I don’t think this is a simple lofting operation. But I could be wrong, someone might have a fancy GH way of doing it. :grinning:

I said loft but I mean sweep :sweat_smile: idk

yeah for some reason it doesnt work but im just trying to do it for an excercise on my course

Move the end of your sweep curve so that it hits the edge of the circle. In the Sweep1 command, pay attention to the “Drag Seam Point to Adjust” prompt. You may have to flip one of the 2 arrows to make them face the same direction. You got this! :grinning:

draw these curves, and use sweep 2 don’t try and do them with sweep1. see how they self intersect? …if you draw them correctly then use sweep 2 it won’t do that.

good curves = good surfaces
