New modeling blocks streamline complex fuselage design in nTop

nTop's latest release introduces three new sweep blocks that dramatically simplify fuselage modeling, letting you design sophisticated geometries with fewer steps and greater control.

The conic section sweep, conic section sweep by tangent, and cubic Bezier section sweep blocks work with two rails and a spine to create surfaces efficiently. Control the pointiness of conic shapes for precise aircraft modeling, or generate "S" curves with the cubic Bezier sweep by adjusting side angles and tangent magnitudes.

Explore how these blocks reduce complexity and accelerate your fuselage design workflow.

Watch and learn how to:

  • Use conic section sweep blocks to create fuselage surfaces with rail and spine curves
  • Control conic shape profiles for precise aircraft geometry
  • Generate complex "S" curves with cubic Bezier section sweeps
