I have the 3d model of a silicone watch strap and it comes with the straps on a specific position.
My problem is that I want to make the model “flat”. simulating that the straps are on a planar surface like a table or something.
I’ve been trying to achieve that position using cage edit, but to edit the straps I have to detach them from the whole 3d model, and when I change it’s position the end of the strap that is united with the watch casing does not blend and they look like 2 different pieces sticked together.
Anyone know a command or process to get what I need?
I’m attaching the model before and after the modification. As I said, the only way I fount to move the strap to the position I wanted was cage edit, but to edit that part I had to separte the strap ftom the whole watch band, but originally they are one piece.
Hello - see if the attached file gets at what you need - the control object is a curve - I see this only makes sense in the Right view, since the strap is way off the Cplane, but you’ll get the idea. Strap issue before-after_PG.3dm (3.0 MB)
Hi Raimundo - see the attached file - I made a line and rebuilt the line, and arranged the points as you see. If you use CageEdit and select this curve as the control object, I think you can get what you need.
