So today I was working on quite a complex shape and decided it would be best to create this with a spline and then extrude it. So after spending close to an hour I finally created said spline and went to extrude it. To my horror it extruded along itself instead of from the center. Now after trying a couple of things with no joy I hit the web and came across this solution, and bugger me it works a treat:
"I found out another more silly solution to that problem. You could simply create a simple spline object like a circle or rectangle faced in the same direction as you original spline, convert this to an editable spline, attach the original spline you wanna extrude and then delete the simple spline obj. (circle/rectangle) in sub-object mode. then it should just extrude as expected. A kinda wicked way to solve this but sometime when I had complex splines I did it that way rather than redrawing the entire spline.Just my little trick, if it's not useful for you... never mind, forget about it.
Bye,
Leon"
So I thought I'd repost this in the hope that it helps someone else out, thank you Leon!
