Objective: Learn how to build the reference cylinder and project the shank curve onto it.
Shaded Mode
At the bottom of the viewport, switch the display mode to Shaded. If you hold Shift and click on a display mode, it updates in all viewports at once.
Extrude the Cylinder
Go to the “Surface” tab and use the “Extrude” command
to create a reference solid from the circle you just created.
- In the command bar, make sure the BothSides option is activated.
- It can be a solid or not, since we’ll only use it for reference.
- From the top view, make sure it covers and slightly extends beyond the curve.
Pull the Curve
Select the other curve, go to the “Curve” tab and use the “Pull” command.
Click on the cylinder you created and a new curve is projected onto its surface.
Use the third user layer to hide the curves you’re not using. This way you can work without getting confused by unnecessary elements.
