I swear this is really simple but I think I’m searching the wrong keywords or understanding it incorrectly…so please fix me…
I have a series of curves that I wanted to sweep a profile over it. Thinking ahead for fabrication I am also planning to segment the curves into smaller chunks so it can be 3D printed/Laser Cut to scale…
However, for some reasons the profiles rotate like madman when I increase the number of segments, highly suspect it’s the rotation nodes towards the end but I can’t for the life of me figure what is wrong with that.
Also if anyone has experience in fabricating this, could you please give me some insight on how you would approach it and am I going at it the wrong way. If these were to be real life extruded profiles how would fabricators go about it? Noting there’s Z axis differences as well.
A 3d non-planar curve will have “twist” along its path.
The twist being and integer, and even more, an even amount of turns is unlikely.
You have to force your frames to being aligned to a specific direction, for example Z absolute direction. (our you have to tell which logic you prefer to follow).
Then, similarly, you gave your Sweep elements only the starting section, so indeed each of them will not land perfectly congruent to the start of the consequent sector.
