I'm trying to mesh a rear wing of a vintage car. I've done some Bezier curves and converted them into mesh. I have the same amount of vertices, so I should be able to connect everything together but I can't find how to do it...

enter image description here

So, I did Convert the curves to a mesh by pressing 'ALT+C, but when I press F it goes like this:

enter image description here Bridge Edge Loop doesn't work either

thanks

  • $\begingroup$ it says: loops are not connected by wire/boundary edge ? $\endgroup$

example of the process

Activate the builtin F2 add-on from Blender by searching "F2" in the user preferences.

After that convert the curve to a mesh (⎇ AltC).

Then make a face out of the beginning of the loop (F) and select the new edge.

Now press F repeatedly until it closes the loop.

Right, so I finally found what I missed. I needed to select the curves in Edit Mode, Ctrl+F, Grid Fill and set the correct number of span and offset in order to get the shape. It was only possible in two steps because I had my guiding line in the middle so I did one half and then the other.

Thanks for helping me enter image description here

There is no easy/automated way to do this, however you can follow these steps to do a manual workaround.

  1. Convert the curve to a mesh by pressing ⎇ AltC converting the curve

  2. In 'edit mode' you can select the egdes you want to connect and then press F to add a face between them. adding faces

  3. To add additional edge loops you can select the edges you wish and do a subdivide. (Specials shortcut W) subdividing

tip: to bridge multiple loops you can use the 'bridge edge loops' function (menu shortcut ⎈ CtrlE) bridging edge loops
