Nice vid. Edgetools by thomthom will find pesky little edges or edges that don’t quite meet and in many cases gives you a one click fix of the issues. Love this workflow. Thanks for sharing.

[@ahmad-murery]

I don't usually use extension but those are really useful ones. Thanks Eric!

[@keggyification]

Thanks Eric, Useful info as always.

[@jydwork1]

As usual....really great work Eric !! So precisely clear

[@SamanthaKnockEXT]

Nice! I like the advice about working up to extensions!

[@3DGvisuals]

Would the Curviloft plugin not do the same but also offer additional options?

[@marcellopaniccia3d741]

Of course. Not to mention that the one he called "quadmesh" isn't a quadmesh at all, just a bunch of ngons with criminally bad topology LOL. Curviloft will create a proper quadmesh instead.

Loved it, thanks 👍

wouldn't it work if you used drape tool from sandbox on a 5% slope?

Curveing a road service is more than just puting it on a plain. For instance you need to to take drainage in a count, corners ar not just a 1/4 cirkel…
