Custom Bench

(1/1)

TE4467:
Hello all

I want to create a bench similar to the one shown in the attached graphic.  It Morphs from a barred bench with a back to having no back.  I can not achieve this with a loft since the number of vertices is not the same from the starting shape to the ending shape.

Is this possible to do with Railclone?

Many thanks!
Greg

Hi Greg,

Unfortunately I think this would be difficult to achieve in RailClone as RailClone works be deforming existing geometry Segments. The only way I think it could be done is by using 3 pieces of geometry, the low seat, the full height seat, and a ramped transition. This 3 pieces could be modelled straight and then deformed along the path using RailClone.

I hope that helps.

Many thanks,

Paul

Thanks Paul

I am currently trying to morph from the start shape to the end shape.  If I can get that maybe I can also introduce a 3rd shape as you suggested.
