Anonymous

Hello there,

I'm trying to make a customized shell, but I can't figure out how!

How can I do something that looks like this?

You can make this with deviding it into parts - one segment after the other.

Or - You draw a cross-section of the "schell-form" as a morph and let it follow another 3D-Morphline
The workflow would be the same like in this tutorial:
( its german but You still will get the point)

Or - You draw this in sketchup - there are some free scripted tools for sketchup to develop such schapes - and then import the sketchup-object into Archcad.
