First time user – simple extrude issues
Hi guys
First time c4d user.
I’ve followed tutes regarding extruding a nurbs object, but it wont work! Bear in mind I have tried the same method below, with nnurbs objecte provided by c4s, but to no avail.
I imported in my Illustrator 8 nurbs object, and clicked nurbs —> extrude, before dragging this onto the object via the…. object window.
I’ve played with the parameters, but its not extruding… anyone have any ideas?
I’m using r9.5
Cheers,
Oli

Illustrator ‘spline’ yes? You can see the spline before you drop it into the Extrude nurb?

Take a look at this, If your .ai file is a “group” , make certain the hierarchical button is pushed under extrude nurbs/ object…

Make sure that your axis of extrusion is concentric with the angle you desire. I found that .ai files will often extrude along the line of my current view, whereas my .ai extrudes to the z-axis if looking down from my top-view or another direction if I’m looking from the left or right cameras making it ultimately invisible as it technically isn’t an object with intrinsic mass to extrude. In other words, re-import your .ai file and extrude it while in a fixed camera view-port and then shift to your perspective view to see your result.
And before I get plowed by long-time users, please understand that I’ve only been tinkering actively for a few months, but the above information came from personal experience and not the manual or a tutorial.
