Extruding a face to a curved line

aaron_kahn

I am trying to make the face of an extruded part wider at the bottom than it is at the top. I want it to have a gradual curve from the top to the bottom, most likely based on a curved line drawn on a plane perpendicular to the face of the extrusiuon? I can't figure how to do it. I am not really lofting it, and its not really a sweep. It's more like thickening a face with a radius or fillet based on a curve I would draw. I looked through tons of forum posts and videos and I couldn't find anywhere this was covered exactly. The extruded item is a logo that I want to stand up on a desk, so the base needs to be wider than at that top.

It's hard to picture what you mean, but I'm guessing what you need to do is draw your curve, extrude as a surface, then extrude your logo up to the surface. Alternatively, extrude larger than you need it and cut the unwanted material away afterwards.

@ aaron_kahn, Can you share that logo.so that we can get what exactly you need.

Thanks!!!  I extruded it more then needed, and then I drew a side profile with a spline for the radius I want to have on the front and back, mirrored it to the other side, then extruded the side profile drawing wider then the logo and used the remove function. Sweet!
