From 2d lines to 3d shapes (german language)

Set up scene: units

Draw open and closed spline line and adjust vertex points precisely

Extrude closed and open spline (+shell modifier)

Create wall with “Outline”

Edit vertex point type in “Quad menue”: corner, bezier, smooth (bezier handles)

Make line smooth with “adaptive”

Create 3D object via attaching 2 lines and “Extrude”

Use modifier “Edit spline” or convert to “editable spline”

Inset new vertex points with “refine, inset, devide”

Create smooth folded surfaces (bezier): Connect vertex points with “create line” and attach “Surface modifier”

Edit folded surface to hard shaded foldings (corner points) + shell modifier

Organic shape based on arrayed lines with “Cross section” and “surface modifier” (+ cap holes or shell modifier)

More information about basic spline topology: spline number and vertex number in “Cross section” modifier

Optimize result: adaptive (line), smooth (cross section), steps (surface modifier)

Sectioning model based on arrayed splines with “Surface modifier” and “Shell modifier”

Use line rotation to create line (lathe modifier): change pivot point

Create architectural profiles with sweep modifier

Use shape along path for 3d shape with “loft function” (check also designstrategies: transforming)
