Flat to circle

[topduck]

Hi Rhino people.

How can I change a flat strip into a circle.

I attached an image and basically I want draw on flat strip then change it to a circle. I did try the projection tool but I didn't get what I want.

Please have a look at the attached image and see if you can help me transform A into B.

Thanks

Try looking at 2 commands for similar results..

OrientOnSrf

FlowAlongSrf

The flow comand will morph the objects in different ways.

BTW: I was assuming that the picture is just a metaphor.. For the picture, just sweep the edge of the flat planar surface around a circle...

I would do this:

Create a curve along the long edge of the flat surface (Curve_FromObject_DuplicateEdge). Also, create a round curve, or whatever shape you want to warp the object to.

Once this is done, use the FlowAlongCurve Command.

Select the flat surface, and use Transform_FlowAlongCurve. Select the curve next to the flat surface first (Base Curve), then select the round one (target curve).

The original selected object will morph to fit the new one.

Cheers!

Thanks for your help, It worked with everything you suggest.

I was hopping there is a shortcut where I can just select the flat surface and turn it to a circle without the need for extra commands.

Thanks again
