What makes the charm of AC is :

Complex profiles (@Dwight)
Lateral Thinking (@Djordje)

And for sure, a mix of both. Short resume.

Djordje, Dwight and Braza's suggestions, for the occurence, are good illustrations of the numerous (infinite?) possibilities.

[Dwight]

Yes:

Infinitely numerous, tortured, hard-to-edit, fabricated, absolutely hi-level experienced product that still doesn't approach the kind of simple playfulness these operations should have.

Charm, or curse?

May be charm is not the correct word, I agree. Take it as an an euphemism (correct?).
I am not an English speaker, you know.

Hi Dennis,

No prob... Here it is:

1. Model half of the shape using one mass mesh with the main curved shape;
2. Elevate one vertice;
3. Copy the same mesh and elevate by the thickness of the form;
4. Create a slab at level zero to cut the form;
5. Do the SEO;
6. Create a 3d side view of the half form;
7. Save it as an object;
8. Insert it in the project;
9. Mirror it.

Hope that helps.

Brilliant!!!
Thanks Braza, I think I'll be pressing that Mesh button a little more now...

Hahaha.
I am thick in the head these days.


Euphemism: From the pious saint "Euphemia" who always used a polite word when she meant the opposite. [i made that up]

That is puerile. Or is there a third degree?

Hi Folks,

This example show us how AC still can surprise us after all those years...
I think that Djordge's "Lateral Thinking" is the key word when working with AC... (Is it copyright?... )
AC always let us choose... and just when we thought there was no other options... there comes a new one.
That's why we all love this software.
Long life for AC!

I hate to say it again, but this is very easy with Autocad!

It took me 29 minutes to model it, 20 of them to test and define the form in 2D! And this is not approximation, it is the real thing! Autocad R14, date of issue 1998 or earlier!

Autocad is the best plug-in for AC!

And AC's 3D modelling ssucks!

Things are not always what they seem ... and then, there are owls.

Twin peaks, anyone?
