    Hi

    I want to slice a solid box with a projection of a spline onto it, but how
    do I do it?

    I have the box and the 3D spline, what now?

    Best regards

    Do I use the SOLPROF to make the profile? It says that "You must be in a
    Layout to use SOLPROF." I Don't know anything on layouts, I just want to
    work i modelspace and plot drawings from this...

    Best regards

    Yes of course, thank you. But the spline is not a closed object and I can't
    make an extrusion with two different lines. what now?

    Oh, Im not at the CS-forum...

    I try to send again.

    As you can see it is a staircase. I want to project the upper spline (blue)
    as a knife perpendicular onto the outer beam (white) to get a nice cut to
    look at.

    Allthough it's the easy way, to send the drawing to you. I would like it
    better if you could instruct me, so I am able to perform the trick my self
    on happy ocasions when I need to slice a box with a 3d-spline :)

    Best ...

    I would use some self-made programs for that, which are not ready for
    dealing yet.
    So I would like to do some test for you.

    Hi

    Now what is it you realy want ; do you want this option generaly so you can cut
    and slice however you want , or do you want a spiral stairway ?
    Solids and Splines is very different objects, and if you want to "slice" with a
    spline, you would need two Splines, to describe the panel formed between these
    ; ------- BTW, shuldn't the stairway carry steps or is it ment as one of these
    toy things in a swimpool ?
    Check some nice graphics where the solids do go round ;
