Hello guys,
I am quite new to using this application so I would really appreciate it if I could get some help for this problem I am stuck with.
I am currently trying to make a chandelier and, long story short, I am stuck on the fact that extrude edges to object does not really work well with components. I cannot make all of the “hanging thread” end at a particular face.
Long version:
Extensions I’ve used:
Curve Maker, JHS powerbar (to create C-points and add component to those points), Extrusion Tool
What I’ve tried:
-Using PathCopy
First, I created the C-points specifically for the hanging thread
-Using Line tool Then Extrude to Edges to Object
What I’ve found is that the extension doesn’t work on 1 edge/straight line. It needs at least 2 edges to work.
-Using Rectangle then Extrude to Edges to Object then deleting the some of the lines so that there is only 1 line left in the end
What I’ve found is that it only works for 1 component which was the one I used to extrude the edges to object.
Writing this, I figured I could probably create another set of C-points from the curve then using PathCopy to map out the ‘hanging thread’ and then deleting the lines that exceeds the rectangle box since I am hoping that the lines that exceed the rectangle box would be labelled as a different line from the lines that do not exceed the rectangle box. But this seems complicated and tedious.
So I was wondering if you guys could provide with some suggestions. I have attached the file and some screenshots below for those interested. Thank you for reading this!
