Building curves for the top view
- In this video we'll start the process of drawing free-formed curves to outline our design from the top view. Since the geometry is symmetrical, we can focus on one side and then mirror it to get the other side. The strategy I recommend is to treat any first pass as just a draft. We almost always need to continue tweaking and editing. First, I'm going to adjust some of my o-snaps. I'm going to turn on intersection and perpendicular. Let's zoom in a bit. I've got the pictureframe layers already locked so I can't accidentally move those. And then we'll start here with the control point curve. I'm going to start it right at the top. I got a nice clean snap there. For the second one, it's fairly critical to hold down the shift so you come straight out. Almost every time you hit an access like this you want the last two points to come in perpendicular. So I've got shift held down, I'm going to zoom out a bit and start drawing some of these perimeter profiles. Now one thing to keep in…
