Hi, i'm making a 3d version of a logo and i'm going for a round metal style.

this is the 2D logo:

my plan was to use sweeps, so i plotted lines in the middle of the original ones and created this shape using these settings:

: shape.png (2.18 KiB) Viewed 4132 times

: sweep settings.png (45.34 KiB) Viewed 4132 times

this result is pretty much the one i want, but it's missing the point. tried tweaking all settings and the ones which get me the pointy top mess up the rest and don't even get the point right.

any suggestions?

Attached you can find the file corrected...

1) reset all Sweep parameters
2) you need to adjust the tangential axis of the main object, I rotated the axis for trace correctly on the path...

For the bottom I think you need more points to avoid the wrong rotation of the segments...

Thanks for replying, but that was one of the settings i dismissed because:

1- it messed up the bottom and i wanted to see if could achieve it without resorting to a boole

2- it makes it lose the crease i liked in the pointless version
