Hey,
Just after a little bit of help.
I had to plot some points to make up 2 custom curves I needed to make a custom profile. I got the two curves and did a surface loft between them. I then drew a circle on a different plane and did an extrude from this circle up to the lofted surface. All is well.
But I need to put a radius on the corners of this shape. Shape basically looks like a cyclinder tube, but one end of the tube is not parallel with the other, and the profile is custom. Anyway, I need radii on the corners, but when I do this, it puts the radius in fine, but the surface loft stays, so I get a thin surface overhanging the radius. basically the radius has cut into the solid shape, but it didnt remove the top surface.
Is there a way I can add a radius to a surface loft, which actually removes the surface loft material?
Oh - to make matters more complex, the surface loft was betwen the two curves I made, but I needed to extend the diameter of the 'cylinder tube' by using a surface extend outwards.... its this outer edge that I need the radius on.
Any help would be really appriciated.
Cheers
