creating walls with loft

adiqy · November 13th, 2007

Hello , I am new in this industry and I am trying to build a 3d model from plans and elevations from our architect. In this tutorial " Visualizations Insider" this guy was building this model using loft on elevations and fist floor plan. Can anybody detail this for me, please because I can get my head around this at all. Thank you very much

You must have a continuous shape of contours of your walls, and shape of your wall- usually rectangle with height and width of a wall. But I recommend you to look at sweep modifier, or box/polymodeling .

i'm an amateur so i don't know how much i can help you with this
but lofting for walls seems to me like too complex to make simple walls

have you tried simply simple polygons and extruding them to a certain height?

I think this is a good tutorial for what you are trying to discover.
