Sweep with closed cap?

[poppy]

Hi

Is there a way to close both ends of Sweep along curve object?

Thanks

Change your circle type to Nurbs and use a Cap node after the Sweep.

hmm I can't get it to work. Here, I attached my hip.

here is one way to cap polygonal holes

Wow, Thank You Sir!

Could you please explain the concept a bit more? With the divide and reverse node you added.

[anim]

the first reverse is just to correct input normals since they point inwards

divide with unshared edges creates polygons from all border edges of your geometry, sort of like caps

but such caps have normals always pointing in opposite direction as your geometry so you need to reverse them

then merge and fuse

Can't you use polycap like this?

The key to working with polycap is you need to select the edges first. You can also select all the edges and poly cap them all at once.

I will say Anim's workflow is better, but doesn't polycap also work the way I outlined it?

You can also create a group, polycap, then delete the group. File attached.
