Another one to be added to the list soon....
Originally designed for building steam domes for locomotives it has many applications. It works similarly to a normal extrude, but it performs several at once and attempts to follow a smooth arc of 90 degrees. The interface below shows the parameters you can enter - the first 2 are the same as the extrude operation. Extrusions is the number of steps to use in the extrusion (a value of 1 gives the same result as a normal extrude) Scale is a degree of curvature - 1 means full curve, 0 mean straight edge - values outside 0 to 1 are allowed but results may be unpredictable. |

Hello PaulGausden,
It doesn't seem to matter where I set the bevel I get a flat top. Could you give me your settings for the mushroom so I can try to duplicate, please? KB |

Hi KB,
I ran the plugin twice... Create a cylinder primitive Select top surface, extrude 2,1,3,0.7 Select new top surface, extrude -2,1,4,1 (I don't have a copy here, so I can't check this, but in theory this should work) Regards Paul |
