Re-Shaping Lofted Shapes
5 messages in this thread
Roy, I was praying for an easy way out of this, and your reply sounds ingenius.
I have just ordered AutoCad and will attempt to learn it this Fall at the local
CC, so until then I will not be able to BPoly anything :-} But I have written
down your suggestion and I will use it later. The next time, I'm going to save
my shapes in shaper and paths in lofter. This is sound creation management.
Thanks your your learned suggestions. Eric
Eric, Just a quick one: In 3DS if you save Projects and not just files all of
your lofter and shaper stuff will stay intact. These are the ones with the
PRJ extension instead of the .3DS extension. If you have a couple complicated
lofts in a particular project you can save them individually but usually having
all of your shapes is enough.

Dave, thank you for your time. I usually save stuff as .prj files, but there
always seems to be missing the parts I want to re-shape and re-loft it.
I have another problem, say I want to wrap text in a circular fashion as in
revolving around the world. How would I do that? Thanks, again, Dave.
Eric
You can create text in the 2D Shaper, loft it, then use the BEND command for
wrapping text in a circular fashion.
Thank you, Nik, I'll give it a go.
