Have you tried the polysweeper free version?
It has Just the essential operator.
I m working right now at a new release of the free version and If you have any hints about I would be happy to try to implement !
No, but It would be easy to implement, i m re-writing the free version like a separated addon more straigth forward use, without a dedicated Tab, so every hints would be usefull.
If the result Will be very solid maybe I could send It to be included in official.
here a simple use case (Just the first 10 seconds):
For profile sweeping I use also “angle tool” addon and “curve lib” addon
I did look at it but found it a tick confusing to use and I get many error messages.
It would be nice if the sweep could use only an edge selection too.
If you want I am more than happy to help with testing.
And I fully agree - it would be nice to integrate this into blender offcial.
Thanx! Just some profile issues to fix
the profile obj also has to be 0 rotation.
I can easily fix this by code, tutorial on profile creation added on the todo list.
yes, if you keep the “normal scale” parameter to 1 the profile scale is proportional to edge ring length, the scale parameter is just a multiply factor on the normal vector.
not exactly, it’s a multiply value set to 1 to get a unaltered proportional scale, set to 0 it’s going to break the value, in practice is very simple:
Edit: you would like to scale the profile also along the “height” axis?
This Is feasible, I can just add a 'profile height parameter" but It will uncheck automatically the fuse option: like you see in the video you can use the sweep also to ‘sculpt’ the geometry.
The height parameter could be also expressed in absolute measure, I ll make a test, It’s Just a matter of add the parameters exposed in the UI.
