I want to make a quite basic open sweep (a circle along an open path), but I want a "tapered" sweep, i.e the end circle smaller than the start one. Is that possible in a sweep? It seems such a basic feature, just like the taper is easy in an extrusion (by draft outward/ inward). Do I have to use...
Hi, I want to make a sweep that has different profiles, i.e. gets "thin" and "fat" . Is there a way of doing this with a sweep, or do I have to create a complicated loft to achieve what I want? I'm attaching a pic of the path and profiles so my question is understood.
Hi, is there any way of copying features, such as a loft, from one part to another? I've created quite a complicated loft in one part and I wish to reproduce it in another part without building it again, does anybody know if that's even possible? Besides making an assembly? Thanks.
Hey,
I've built a loft of an ellipse by making one quarter of it and mirroring twice (photos attached). The loft isn't smooth and continuos, any idea how to make a perfect ellipse? Do I have to add more profiles?
Hi, I have a 90/80 cm, 2 mm thick plate that has 112 irregular double holes (i.e. 224 holes) in a specific pattern. I made the holes' pattern in the sketch, I think this is the "lightest" way. The file is still very heavy and reacts very slowly. Is there a better way to do the pattern? Would a...
For those of you that do a lot of rendering - how do I make a simple, white backround + shades render, very similar to the one that appears on my screen while I work? Something like this:

Of course with materials and all, this is just...
Hi, I have a 2007 version that used to work just great untill a few weeks ago, I was away and haven't opened it in a while, and today I finally do, and the darn thing keeps stucking! The program opens, the file opens, but as soon as I try, say, to rotate the view, it stucks and it takes a few...
