(OP)
can some one help me, how would be best to create a nose cone (formula 1 style) would it be to create a cross section and extrude....if so, can you sweep with three guide line to get the profile of the cone?? thanks





RE: Nose, help
I suppose you could use the sweep for the lemgth and then trim the sides in with a free form surface. Then apply blends to smooth out the shape.
The original 2004 Williams nose looks to be fairly constant in width but all of the others have side taper.

a) You can thicken sheet bodies to create a solid.
b) You can sew sheet bodies together and create a solid if they completely enclose a volume.
Yes, you can blend surface edges.

RE: Nose, help
If the surfaces do not belong to the same body, you cannot use edge blend on them; i.e. two separate extrusions coming together to form a corner like in a box must be sewn together prior to using edge blend. However, you can alternatively use Face Blend with Trim & Attach All to achieve similar results.
I would suggest reading the documentation for this sort of information.
