Sweeping between two different face shapes
Sweeping between two different face shapes
(OP)
Hello!
I am attempting to sweep between an ellipse and a circle - the image is pretty self explanatory. Not sure how. Any help much appreciated!

RE: Sweeping between two different face shapes
The generic solution would be to loft between the two profiles.
If you're going from an ellipse to a circle, you can sweep an ellipse with guide curves to match the path of the ellipse from start to finish.

(I used to have to do this sort of thing frequently to make good handles/hand-grips for products over ten years ago before surfacing tools became more robust.)
