Template:Problem solving tubeextrude

From TOI-Pedia

Problems that can occur when using extrudes could be:

  • Selection order

When your Tube extrude yields unexpected results, make sure you select the objects in the correct order.

Solution: Select the profile curve first and (shift-)select the path curve secondly.

  • Pivot point

When the resulting surface isn't positioned on your path, but seems to be offset, the pivot point of your profile is probably somewhere outside your profile curve.

Solution: position the pivot of your profile on the desired location. You could use Modify > Center pivot.
