3DS Max, World Extrusion/Adjust thickness of Complicated Curves...

Dave Jr

Hi,

I recently made this trim for a clothing piece my character is wearing and ideally i'd like to adjust the thickness, its way off the concept and probably needs to be about double the thickness. I'd like to adjust the outer edge, however world extrusion, and other methods give me funky angles.

If anyone could advise itd be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

David

You could try the shell modifier, then extruding the thickness. And then deleting what you don't need.

You could also select a complete edge loop and use Create Shape from selection, and get an Editable Spline to which you can adjust the thickness or make it cylindrical or rectangular in shape.

Wow appreciate the fast feedback. I tried the create a shape from selection with an editable spline, and it worked well except the back part became more planar and didnt follow the contour in the right direction when on in display

the shell modifier worked great, I removed my hard edges; shelled it then put them back in, THANKS

bit late but..

push modifier?

or

select all the circular loops and move using normal constraints?
