Removing Unwanted Morph Lines

Andy Melaragno
Enthusiast

I need to draw an entry arch and since it has a profile I am using the morph tool. I am able to creat the arch I am needing to draw but I now have a bunch of unwanted lines. Is there a better way to create this arch and is there a way to delete the unwanted segment lines but keep the edge lines of the arch? I know I can hide individual lines but that would take hours on this model. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your tags already have it listed: columns and beams. Make a complex profile and curve the beam used for the top.

The curve might not be as fluid as you would like (amount of segments), but I find they generally work well enough up to 1:50 scale and using a complex profile with column + beam is a lot easier to adjust than drafting a morph over and over.

Thank you very much Erwin! I did not realize that the intersections of beams and columns would seamlessly join. That is a much better way of creating the arch!

 

Thanks again!
