Extrusin alon a path

How do you make a tube that bends? Is it a circle that extrudes along a path? How do you extrude along a path?

Various options depending on the specific use

Read the wiki manual section about curves (link in blender help menu) for info on curve bevel objects

Option 1
Add a curve for the path, add a curve object for the cross section and set it to be a curve bevel object of the path curve. Then Alt+C to convert curve to a mesh
Option 2
For a circular cross section, for a curve object set the curve fill option to Full, set the Bevel Depth for the size of the cross section and the Bevel resolution as the number of sides for the cross section. Then Alt+C to convert to mesh
Option 3
Add a curve. Add a section of the extrusion, add an array modifier to it set to curve length. Add a Curve modifier and set it to the curve you want the extrusion to follow.

Curve is the most versatile, but you don’t always need to use a path when modeling.

W -> bridge edgeloops, and looptools loft (addon) are suitable in some cases. You can use either for both examples (two rings, many).

Because that may be where you might be headed if you do not take accountability in your weight reduction right this 2nd and find the time to workout at least thirty mins an afternoon, on a daily basis and consume much less meals for the rest of your life. Have been they? More than likely not. Your immune system goes for a toss, you find yourself staring at physical/emotional problems. worrying is not a neurological condition per se, adds Dr. Sitaram. Making sure you stay active is a good way to increase your weight loss. Try to not sit down during the day at all. When you do this, your metabolism will increase, so that you will always be burning a high percentage of calories. The most scientific approach that can be used to identify the different food types involved for each individual is a blood test that measures food-specific IgG antibodies. A recent study surveyed 576 sufferers’ who described symptoms of bloating. A staggering 92% of them showed a significant reduction in their symptoms, and overall improvement in their gut function, if they removed the foods from their diet that showed a positive reaction in the blood test. Here what is to gain: promoting a vegan diet as normal is something that hasn really happened on TV, ever. The reason why eludes me entirely, so this simple plot twist could make you unique.
