Question Curve Question

I would like to know how you would create curves, like cell phones have. How would I do that in the "3D (xyz)" box.

Default Re: Curve Question

There's several different ways, depending on exactly what kind of curve you want to do.

The two I use most are:

1) Create a poly-line outline of the shape, then click the Surfaces > Spline button. This creates a rounded surface, which can then be extruded.

-OR-

2) Box model the shape using subdivision surfaces. You can turn on subdivisions for a particular object from Tools > Object Properties.
