I am drawing a ladder with hooped man-caged that is a constant radius for most of the length, then flares out at the end.
I am trying to draw the vertical bars that connect the cage hoops.
This means the shape will have to twist AND flare out in order for a flat side of the bar to be flush with the hoops.
I attached an example with text pointing to the most complex bar.
I have no idea how to do it. I tried drawing it as a 3D Polyline, then extrude. Nope.
Tried a sweep, lofting. No luck.
Anyone have an idea?
