Use Boolean Operations to obtain the result needed Get your bezier curve setup the way you need in shape and complexityĬonvert the bezier curve once finished into a mesh, and extrude it so it’s a plane of the shape you need that cut the cube
:yes:įor the 1st case, i don’t think there’s a easy intuitive way as there is in Sketchup to cut a model with a bezier curve, but you can try this : Thanks for all the help, looking forward to your comments. What I’ve been doing is 3D modeling in Sketchup and exporting and rendering in Blender. In Blender, I feel very separated from the 2D drawings tools, I have to convert these curves to mesh (I think, can’t remember) and that kills the flow. Sketchup: I think I feel at home with Sketchup because it allows me to draw as I would in Adobe Illustrator, and do so on simple 3D objects and create more complex objects. This is probably obvious and I’m not seeing it.Ĥ. This feels very awkward, I must be missing something. Can I do this is blender? What I do in blender is “Loop Cut and Slide”. Sketchup: I can draw a bezier curve or line on the face of any polygon object. I can then literally drag this countour to the end or anywhere inbetween.ģ. I then can use the “Follow Me” tool and say contour follow this cube (cube already being a solid shape). I then draw a separate contour shape/object. I then can use the “Push/Pull” tool and drag one of the faces backwards, thus deleting it. I then literally draw a bezier curve on the surface of one of the faces, making two new faces (or if I drew just a straight line). I’m nearly there… what I still can do in Sketchup that I cannot figure out in Blender is the following.ġ.
#FOLLOW ME TOOL SKETCHUP HOW TO#
If you haven't pre-selected a face you'll need to make sure you click and hold the desired face.įor more information on how you can use the Follow Me tool in your models, see Extruding with Follow Me.I’ve only ever figured out how to model in Sketchup, coming and going many times from Blender. Mouse or Trackpad - If you've already selected a face, simply click and hold anywhere on the screen then move your cursor up, down, or side-to-side to extrude a face. Multitouch - Long press on the face you want to extrude, then draw along the path. When you have pre-selected the path, you can swipe to automatically extrude a face along that path. Pencil - Tap the face you would like to extrude, then draw along the path. When you have pre-selected the path, you can long press or tap to automatically extrude a face along that path. Pencil or Multitouch - Long press where you want to start, then long press again at the end of the path. When you have pre-selected the path, you can automatically extrude a face along that path with a single click. Mouse or Trackpad - Click the face you want to extrude and move your cursor up or down along the path. The Follow Me tool can be used with any of SketchUp for iPad's input methods in either Just Draw or Click-Move-Click mode. The Follow Me tool works best when you have pre-selected the face you want to extrude and the path it will follow. In SketchUp for iPad, the Follow Me tool doesn't have any optional tool modes. iPad Input Methods for the Follow Me Tool Follow Me is handy when modeling things that follow a perimeter or an edge, like crown molding or gutters, or when modeling lathed or curved objects, like spindles or bowls. The Follow Me tool ( ) leads a face along a path, creating a 3D shape.
