Hi All
I've had quite a fun day today, working on a pet project.
We make a lot of arch top doors,,, and there are sooo many kinds of arches. My goal was to make a master part that could be used to encompass them all.
Here I have 5 examples
a straight line
a line with arc
a single arc
two arcs
a conic
Each of the sketches is driven by the same dimensions
I extruded them as surfaces and spread them out
before joining them together and fit splining
then repositioning (by config) and trimming
All this, just to get a single sketch segment!
but fingers x'd it seems to work.
I can even have a different type of arch on the left and right.
The idea is to use these as Skeleton Parts for our various designs.
Sharing for two reasons. 1 because I think it's pretty cool, but 2 maybe someone has a better idea...
I think these splines may give me some bother!
