How to flow extruded curve along curve?

[Susan_Hughes]

Hi, I’d like to make the flower solid shape flow along the surface of a half-sphere
honeysuckle.3dm (3.9 MB)
. Is this possible? Please help. Thanks

Hello - I guess this is what you are after, correct?

FlowAlongSrf will work here if the structures of the base and target surfaces are the same - in this case a revolved line and a revolved arc.

Hi Pascual—How do you break apart the sphere to be able to select just the arc? Also, is the circle a surface underneath the flower piece? Please let me know. Thanks, Susan

Hi Susan -

@Susan_Hughes

How do you break apart the sphere to be able to select just the arc?

Those are two different objects - there is no reason to break them apart.

@Susan_Hughes

Also, is the circle a surface underneath the flower piece?

Yes, when you select that object, the command line reads “1 open surface added to selection” and your properties panel will report that object as a surface.
