| Jun 18 at 15:24 | comment | added | Cornivius | For ropes I just apply the screw and close the holes manually, then use a boolean modifier to cut them at a certain place if I need to. | |
| Jun 18 at 14:30 | comment | added | annie_pp | I've updated my question with the blendfile. I don't know how extending curve could help me there as I don't need to make it longer, I need to reshape it to make it end at the same level. I have my initial screw made out of 3 circles one on another so I believe I'd have to edit it somehow, but I have no idea, especially that is just iterated 20 times to make the length. I believe I'd have to seperate it somewhere and do something, but it's complicated, so I'd like to know more about it (I'm a newbie at Blender) | |

| Jun 18 at 13:47 | comment | added | Gordon Brinkmann | Perhaps you should upload your file with unapplied modifiers to blend-exchange.com and follow the instructions there to edit it into your question. I would go about this task as follows: have the three circles, screw them, and then use a Curve modifier to shape the rope with some curve. Now if you want to extend the rope downwards or whatver direction, just extend the curve which it is following and change the parameters of the Screw modifier to make sure it fits. If you made your rope like this, it should be quite easy and obvious. If not, I wonder how did you make the rope? | |
| Jun 18 at 13:42 | comment | added | annie_pp | I actually have a backup file with no modifiers applied, but I still don't get how I could treat making that shape. My screw is made of 3 circles one on top of each other. What tools do I use to shape it? | |
| Jun 18 at 9:47 | comment | added | Gordon Brinkmann | Well, I would extend the curve and shape it so that it does continue downwards. If the screw modifier would not have been applied, you could change the settings of it to make it work with the extended curve. | |
| Jun 18 at 9:44 | comment | added | annie_pp | I don't see how not applying screw modifier could help me shape the edges like that. I have the curve modifier not applied yet, but it's probably not helpful | |
| Jun 18 at 7:13 | comment | added | Gordon Brinkmann | I guess you should have done that before applying any modifiers...? | |
