ReMark Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Create a profile and extrude or sweep it using a hexagon as the path. Edited January 18, 2014 by ReMark Quote
ReMark Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 My rather hasty attempt yielded this. Keep in mind I had no dimensions to work with. The vase is a figment of my imagination. Visual style: Conceptual. I ended up creating a closed half-profile that I extruded using a hexagon as a path. This is just one way of doing it and not necessarily the best or fastest way. Please keep that in mind as other members suggest alternatives. Each user decides according to his/her own skills what method to use. Quote
ReMark Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 A view of all my model space objects both 2D and 3D. Visual style: 2Dwireframe Quote
Zox Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 hmm it would of helped if you showed just few steps... but I'm trying it. EDIT oh it's here. Thanks! Quote
ReMark Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Sorry for the delay. I'm still working on my second cup of coffee. Tough to use both mouse and keyboard with one hand. LoL Quote

JD Mather Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I would sweep only the outside wall as a surface body, sculpt and shell rather than going to all the trouble of drawing the wall thickness. Quote
Tyke Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I would sweep only the outside wall as a surface body, sculpt and shell rather than going to all the trouble of drawing the wall thickness. I would have thought thar ReMark just offset the single line profile and closed off the ends to get the profile to sweep. Seems the easiest way to me. Quote
ReMark Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 That's what I did Tyke. JDM: I'm pretty sure the OP would have no idea what you are talking about (surface body/sculpt/shell). Be that as it may all suggestions welcomed. Anyone else? Quote
JD Mather Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 JDM: I'm pretty sure the OP would have no idea what you are talking about (surface body/sculpt/shell). ... That's what we are here for. Now we can only sit back and wait for the OP to post what they have completed so far and ask additional questions. Quote
ReMark Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Zox: Were you able to complete your 3D vase? If so what method did you use? Can we see any image? Thanks. Quote
Zox Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Sure here it is: And thanks for help! Quote
ReMark Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 We appreciate you taking the time to share an image with us. So, what's next? You're entirely welcomed. Quote
