Have you try Bevel Plus ? :)

well.. if not borin' please help me out with a tip or some trick with this text problem.. my situatuation is as follows...

created a nurbs text,
Beveled it with needed tweaks..
now, deleated History...
created planars for the Outer and Inner Ioparms of the Bevel.

that's it.. now, I need to combine both of these (planar and Bevel) to one single object. so that, If i could extract any curves on the surface which passes throug the whole geometry (planar+Bevel).

Hope sobdy had/got this problem solved.. Plz Im deperatly needed of help.

planar only creates a flat planar surface, even though you trim it, its still a square surface. i am guessing u want to select the outer curve of the planar trimmed surface?
just right click and choose trim edge and then you can duplicate that surface curve. (under Edit Curves>Duplicate Surface Curves.)

if not, please explain more. pic would be good.

you cant just attach the planar with the bevel. You could pick the last row 2 rows of cvs and make it planar by hand or you simply use Bevel+ to create the whole text. What is the problem with the letters being 2 surfaces?

hil... thx for the replys...
and sorry for being late to post(This window eate my text more than 3 times -- relogging!!!)

well.. what I want is differenet from the point U were thinking abt.

let me be precise abt what I wanna do with Nurbs.. here goes my prob...

think U have created a rectangular surface from a curve.. U'll get the surface patchs with some xU's and some xV's of curves.
when U could extract or duplicate any number of the curves from the surface once the Isoparms are selectible (which runs all over the surface).

what I want is, I need to create a text with nurbs and bevel it and close the ends with what ever method that would create a continual surface patch and curves of U and V. so that I can extract the curves from U section (think of a wire framed text of U isoparms or U curves).

Hope this has strike some ideas over for U... I f incase no way to do in my way.. I would like to take a lesson about creating text in maya -- help me find some good links abt modeling precisely what I want to.. or else any better methods are appreciated...


Thanks for wasting Ur time and hope this is not the final reply for this thread... BYE...
