Lydell –
PMJI-
I suspect that I'm kind of catching the back end of this thread – In fact, I
didn't see the original question, only the responses from Jonas and yourself.
If I'm getting this correctly….someone (Will) was trying to loft a simple
shape along a "straight line" path ?! And the resulting mesh didn't loft quite
so straight ?! If this is the case… I've had that happen to me….and it
really "wigged me out" the first time it happened. I had no deform settings
and the path sure looked straight to me. Sometimes, even thought a path may
appear to be straight, it's not. ( It's similar to a Modify\Segment\Refine in
the Shaper – the split segments now contain "curve settings" as opposed to
"linear information" ) In the Lofter….try Path \ Straighten and then
re-loft. The big tip-off for a path that needs straightening – the step marks
are unevenly spread out.
As I said, I missed the original question. Hope this applies to what you were
talking about. If not…(Roseanne Rossanadana) nevermind <G> !
