Not quite sure how to articulate the question so please refer to attached file.
I am attempting to conform an extruded surface (banner) to a loft (heart). The banner edges extend past the heart sketch which seems an issue. Ultimately I'd like the banner to look as if it floats above heart but can be a merged element.
Any assist will be most appreciated.
Thank you. Please explain.
Using the Planer Surface/Trim/Knit features, I created a stepped surface that is coincident with the heart surface but then transitions to a flat surface. I then applied a fillet to create a smooth transition as the ribbon falls over the edge. I have 2016, so if you're running something older than that you won't be able to open my file :/
..with 2017 it's pretty straight forward with the updated Flex feature.
but, you have 2014 so,.. you may try Deform "or" offset the surfaces and Sketch Splines (ribbon) onto the offset faces.. trim and thicken?
Thank you. Is there a way for you to send me the file so I can toy with your proceedures?
Douglas,.. sure, see attached zip..
Much thanks for the assist Paul & Mahir. I'm unfamiliar with modeling terminology so it's easier for me to learn by the show-n-tell method. Your help is appreciated.
I'm not a surfacing expert, but here's one method that comes to mind. You can overbuild a surface around the heart in the area where the ribbon falls over its edge. See my attached file.
