I'm currently modeling a bridge and I have a lot of square beams to make. The quick dirty way I found is to use bezier curves and playing with the profile of the bevel under the geometry pane in object data properties. I need to give a resolution of at least 1 to my bevel to get the desired squared result.

Do you have any other better way to model this ? I don't like the fact that I have to convert it to mesh than remove the additional non-required loops to keep it as low poly as possible. Also is there any way to add custom bevel profile presets ?

Thanks for your time.

    $\begingroup$ Why not design a bespoke bevel object with a clean square shape? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You're right that's a method I actually had forgot about that I also used on this. I think I'd just like a simpler tool with length and width sliders like in 3ds max. With geo nodes maybe I could do this ? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Geometry nodes will allow doing that easily, currently there isn't any method to easily control width and height of a bevel object. Until then see blender.stackexchange.com/questions/58564/… $\endgroup$
