I'm trying to create a horizontally curved wall with a vertically curved top profile that will host a sheet metal coping. Trying to use the swept blend with the spline option as the 2D path and it will only work with a simple spline of three nodes or less. It seems there a limit to the amount of nodes for the path. Once I get the wall, which I can't, will it host a sloped coping? Or is there a better way to do this? Thanks.

That was great. Thanks for the video. However, I would like the 2D path to be more complex. Sort of like an 'S'. And the top of the wall has to have a vertical bump. Sort of like a bell curve. Should that be several blends instead on one joined together?

Thats EXACTLY what I was trying to do. How did you do that? Were you able to create the 2d path with more than one segment? I tried the spline feature and i could not use more than 2 nodes.

NO, because the "curved shaped" in elevation.... only allow straight segments and it's not in Solid Swept blend but Solid Sweep....

Terrific. I'll give it a try. The previous video was very helpful.

Still having trouble with the sweep at the top of the curved wall. How do you get a complex curve in the vertical direction?
