Community Help / Re: Is it possible to create a flat mesh from a closed spline?
« Last post by Mike_Hocksworth on January 30, 2025, 03:23:21 am »Sent through email just now.
I have found something close just messing around with 'Spline Polygon' Streamline tool, though it creates an NGON.
Really keen to see if there is a better way, many thanks.

Community Help / Is it possible to create a flat mesh from a closed spline?
« Last post by Mike_Hocksworth on January 30, 2025, 12:21:21 am »I have in mind using the Background Reference Image function in orthographic view and tracing around an image with Spline (object) tool.
Then running a tool to create a flat Mesh object segmented into quads ideally.
I could then use other commands such as Shell (Mesh) to thicken the object.
Thanks for your consideration.

To remove them, in object mode, with the object selected (the object with object guidlines) -> "Geometry -> Common commands n tools -> Guide lines -> Delete"
The other type of guide lines are "Guide line Objects" which when create are an actual separate object which can be selected.

I saw the guideine video several times and it works great....
but I cannot select the guideline to move it and remove it..what I am doing wrong? does not turn red and let me select it.
Tnx!

A better way is to use the inputting-during-operation feature. @ 0:35

except the angle.

One thing If it makes sense it is...in my head it does.
When you select a polygon and move it all the info shows in the manipulator in the bottom screen (and you can move it with numbers)
except the angle.it would be nice and maybe even faster to change the angle there as well.
so I am guessing the polygon is at 0 degrees parallel to the grid, I select it, in the manipulator enter 22 degrees and it will rotate to that number.
Tnx!
