Community Help / Re: Is it possible to create a flat mesh from a closed spline?

Thanks for that.
I haven’t gotten into the draw mesh tools yet, for some reason I thought they were for Retopo work so I ignored them for now.

This approach does seem to produce better geometry than what I was coming up with.

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.

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.

Sounds like you have added "Object Guidlines" those you cannot select/move, they move with the object they are created on. 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.

Hello
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!

When you have the Rotation manipulator visible, you can see the rotation angle values displayed in the Manipulation window. But it is three values linked to x/y/z axis. That can be very confusing when you try to make your input.

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

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.

Change the manipulator orientation to "selection"
