Curving a 3D Model

Hello, I drew a glasses frame and I can't figure out how I can curve it to match the natural curve of the human face. Can someone help me? Thanks.

Hi @joaquim_almeria682, there are a few ways to do this. One way would be to use the Project curve feature. This will require two sketches, one with the frame profile, and another sketch on a perpendicular plane most likely. 

Another way would be to Extrude up to your face object.

My favorite approach for things like this is to use Split and split the face object. Then Thicken the newly split face. 

For creating the face shape, you can either derive or import one that someone else made, or you could create it yourself. If you create it yourself, it will most likely involve the Loft tool.

Check out the Learning Pathways at the learning center to learn how to use each of these tools.
