3D Lines
3D Lines
(OP)
This is my first question so lets get this one answered nice and quickly. :)
I am starting to play with 3d curved lines(splines). I am finding it impossible to get a smooth 3d line/spline with multiple points on it. (eg. the looped end of an extension spring) To draw somthing accurately i have to input tons of points and do the calculations manually for each point of how much it would move int eh x, y and z directions each point. Is their a way to write an equation for a 3d line in excel or vb or somthing, then i could use a loop of some sort to make the line do what i want.
Im using SW2k5 SP0.
