Cool little tutorial object and magic Blend function!

2nd that...

Hi Burrman,
I tried watching you video, but it said it was private.

Hey Bill,
Google seems to be randomly changing some settings. You should be able to see it now.

Yep, that did it!
Thanks Burrman

Hi Burrman, that's a cool video but I have a problem at the very beginning. My initial curve is a filleted rectangle and is composed of 8 joined segments, therefore the extrusion has eight seams instead of one. I can't see a command that'll merge the curve segments into one before doing the extrusion. Is there such a command or do I have to draw the initial curve by hand?

Hi Abe,
Select your object and hit Tab and type Rebuild.

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately, Rebuild only creates an approximation to my G3 filleted rectangle. Further, the rebuilt curve's seam was not on the long axis axis of symmetry, unlike the example in your video. I can use Loft instead of Extrude to position the seam of an 'extrusion', but I don't want to be working with a rebuilt approximation to my curve. I guess I need to draw my filleted rectangle by plotting control points if Moi has no way to simply merge curve segments. Also, is there no way to merge surfaces?

Hi abe, there is not currently any way to merge curve segments to one another without some adjustment like Rebuild or deleting the control point where 2 segments touch. There is also no way to merge surfaces currently either.

I want to add in methods for both of those, but I have not quite figured out where to put that functionality in the UI yet.

Thanks, Michael. I look forward to that and will continue to enjoy your software as it is in the meantime. :)
