If I have a Curve and I want to convert it into a flat ribbon, it is necessary to use an external path, a simple straight segment, as an “Object” inside the Bevel of the curve, right?
I mean: there is no DIRECT way to get that flat ribbon without resorting to a second external profile, OK?
Unlike if we want to make it have a circular profile or almost any other type, where we can use the “Round” or “Profile” options. But unfortunately, in this second option (“Profile”) I don’t see a way to make it a flat profile.
Or is there an alternative and more direct way that I’m not aware? (without using an external second straight segment for section, I mean)
Thanks!. Yes, I had also thought about the alternative of using Geometry Nodes. I just wanted to be sure that I am not overlooking some completely direct method inside curves (without “intermediaries”) A direct method such as being able to use a circular section or (almost) any other type of profile inside any curve settings, which are great things that surprised positively to me, coming from Modo and Cinema4D.
It’s a so common feature and “simpler” than circular or more complex profiles, that I find something strange that there is not something available “out of the box”
Of course, not a real problem, at all!. Lot of workarounds are available, but I preferred to ask!
To be honest: on my first answer I didn’t check the file (just looking your images)
But once I downloaded your example, no matter I created a new spline I didn’t found where you achieved that effect, since my ribbons appeared vertical, not flat in the floor.
