Curved Walls

drvox · October 5th, 2006

Hi

I'm trying to model some curved walls.
Here's what I've done:
- Curved line
- Extrude modifier to give height
- Edit Mesh - extrude do give some deph

The problem is that suface is only visible from one side as you can see in the attached picture.

Some help??

My objective was to get a wall which is curved in horizontal and vertical (should be something like a "spherical modifier" to a plan surface), but i gess that is only possible moving vertexes with edit mesh.

Thanks,

Best Regards

loft a rectangle along the spline...

Or try using shell modifier with a very small amount.

I agree with the shell modifier, alternatively you could draw the full outline of your wall and extrude that.

The problem you have is normals on that backwall, which you could easily flip to solve the problem (have a play with the normals modifier)

You could also just select you spline subobject and 'outline' to the desired depth
