Im working on a archviz project.
Im trying to create some curved walls, but im not sure what the best way is to do this… At the moment, i was thinking of making a nurbscurve and extruding the wall along this curve. Like this: (topview)
" … I tried converting it to a mesh and then extruding, but nothing happens…" if you’ve converted a nurbs curve to a mesh with this:
The ‘Mesh from…’ selection, you then need to go into edit mode and select your spline-shape, then hit the ‘e’ key ( for extrude) , hit the ‘z’ key for z-axis ( upwards ) and drag up as far as you like.
Thanks for your reply.
I forgot to say im in 2.8 latest build
When I create a path or curve, I convert it to a mesh (object concext menu > convert to mesh
Then I go into edit mode, select everything and press E, then Z to move it upwards
but nothing extrudes… it just moves the curve upwards…
It’s the same in 2.8.
Are you sure you’re selecting the ‘Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surf/Text’ option ? You should be able to see if the nurb has become a mesh as it will no longer show as a curve in the properties panel:
Simply define NurbsPath Geometry (Bevel). You can also define wall profile with custom “Object” (using another “Curve”). This way you keep geo non-destructible or ‘procedural’.
