michael this the curves i work
thanks for u time
billis

Hi billis, to make the Rhino flow command work, you would use an arrangement like I have attached here.

Note how there are 2 separate curves - one straight line and then just one curved one.

Start by selecting the shape (which you will notice I extruded into a solid). Then run Flow, select the line as the base curve, and then the other curve as the target curve. That will then warp your pattern to follow the curve.

You may also want to experiment with flipping the Stretch=n option on or off.

I hope that might help you - but please realize that this forum is not the right spot for answering questions on how Rhino works. There is a totally different forum dedicated to Rhino located here - that is normally the place you should go to ask questions specific to Rhino.

Thought it would be a challenge and a good tutorial for myself not perfect but...

Thanks for the method Michael. After forming the surface like in your last step I did an offset, then loft between the cutouts then a couple of trim sheets for the sides.
I have a question, is it possible to have like a 'solid offset' I tried extrude but it deforms as it goes around the curvature of the sheet, just a thought I had as I was doing the surface offset.

Cheers

Hi Danny,

>>I have a question, is it possible to have like a 'solid offset' I tried extrude but it deforms as it goes around the curvature of the sheet,

Use "shell" (construct~ offset~ shell)

Thanks Steve,
I should read The MoI docs more closely. The app I use at work offset and shell are 2 separate functions.

Cheers
