Dazed and Confused

Post by Wayne Locke »

I have been battling this file long enough to have saved a considerable amount of time by just gnawing the shape with my teeth. This is a side of a medicine cabinet which is to look like draped fabric. I have done similar things in the past and am unsure if this is a result of the aging of the Aspire or me. The file is two sided and can be viewed here (I hope), https://www.dropbox.com/home/Apps#. I added a "Zero Plane" to the front so it would be cut below the center and turn it off for the back side. I have used 2 Rail Sweeps using the flat cross section and the curve. I have also used the two rail with the curved cross section and then faded it. At this point I have something that works though I do not understand my problems and would like to be a bit less potty mouthed the next time.

For the life of me I do not understand the cut on the flat end as shown. It seems to remain no matter what I do. I used a vector boundary with no offset and made it offset on the sides but on the ends — no effect.

Also, what is the lighter part of the model as seen in the pics?

Help!

I couldn't open the link to your file. Even with my dropbox account. Try again?
