I thought it would not be a difficult task, but apparently it is... I'm trying to make a bent, wavy roof, but which every tool in the Plane or Solid section I use, it always comes up with an error (and the occasional crash) and I can't figure it out. If I use the One Rail Sweep Surface tool and select only one "wave" (conic) as a rail, it works. But of course I want to use all the conics to create the roof, but that doesn't work.

I would say it probably is doable with one Arc and one wave rail, but who can tell me how to do this?

Thanks for listening!

Ah, that worked! Thanks! I really have to look from different sides, because this made so much sense. I actually did group the conics before, but I used it as a rail, not the start point.


I don't know what you mean with "world plane", but if I understand it correctly, my answer above about the start point is answering your question?

I always want to learn, that's why I asked. But I got the result I wanted. With the Thicken Solid tool I made it a roof. Only have to cut of the edges on the wavy sides, as they bend as in a twirl.

I realise suddenly that I also could have used the Join Curve Tool to connect all conics. It would have been one part and I would have succeed very quickly, as there was no need to make it a group. It is also a better solution, as the would be no issue with the flow of the connection.
