Trying to create a sheet of corrugated steel, which bends 90 degrees (its the front panel of a reception desk). I have divided my curves up with points, then run curve through points. Where the points go round the 90 degree bend the spacing goes wrong, any tips ? tia
(screenshots attached of the problem and kind of what I’m trying to achieve)
Hello - looks like a control point curve with the points spaced on both curves does something about right?

Pascal, thanks for chipping in. I can’t seem to get the result you have, can you explain the steps you went through to get that result ? tia
Hello - I don’t say if it is the most efficient but what I did was
- Divide the inner curve
- Run ClosestPoint with the outer curve pre-selected and snap to every other division point.
- Control point curve (
Curve
command, degree 3) to every point on the outer and every second point on the inner curve.
ClosestPoint
with a an asterisk in front will repeat, speeds things up:
*ClosestPoint

thanks Pascal, it kinda works and should be good enough for my needs
yes that works a little better, as they say, 100 ways to skin a cat , thanks for the tip
