AnimatedGuideExtrude

The Path->AnimatedGuidedExtrude command in the Motion module allows you to animate the components used in the Surface->GuidedExtrude effect. This effect allows you to extrude curves to create surfaces.

Procedure

1. Create the cross-sectional curve (usually modelled in the xy plane) and the left and right guide curves. One or more of the curves may be animated.
2. Choose the Path->AnimatedGuidedExtrude command in the Motion module.
   
   The associated dialogue box is displayed (similar to the one for the Surface->GuidedExtrude effect).
   
   
3. Pick the cross-section curve, the left guide curve, and then the right guide curve.

Note:

NURBS curves may be used with the AnimatedGuidedExtrude effect. The resulting patch, however, is computed by converting any linear NURBS curves into linear curves and any cubic NURBS curves into Cardinal curves.

The parameters are the same as in the Surface->GuidedExtrude dialogue box.
