Re: Holes with curves in curved surfaces
|
Some tips for easier editing:
The main thing here is to turn off the magnet. The round window (purple) fits well into the wall only in one single position - strictly perpendicular. Draw that wall part horizontal and place the round window. It only has to be half as wide as the round window. Then select both and move/rotate. Use the rotate function of the Advanced Edit plugin: you don't have to switch off magnetism, just put in the numbers and with each arrow up/down or new number the rotation is shown in the 3D view. You can even use half degrees. Easier than trying to catch that magic spot with the mouse and possibly more precise. Create everything with a scale 10:1. It gives you more precision and it's easier to work with a larger part than a tiny little part. Only scale down when the whole model is completely done.
Then you need to save it to OBJ, rotate it properly, make the windows invisible, and save it back to OBJ. Just export the wall parts without the windows. The created holes will be preserved even if you export without the windows.
You have a nice curve in your wall. The straight parts are almost invisible.
