Oloid

Did someone of you ever model an oloid? I spent a lot of time but can't find
a solution.

Would these URL help.

I never realized the Oloid existence before. But perhaps I'm pretty close

The way I read it the radius of each is equal but the distance between centers is r(2^(1/2)). I did a twisted band a couple of months ago that might lend a solution but of course can't find it now with search.

I searched (on web side) for twisted band jd and got this:

It's not a real difference in modeling, Jeffery, in my eyes. And I'm more
than sure, that you'll agree with me.
But look here:
http://www.wundersamessammelsurium.de/Mathematisches/Torkler/index.html

There are some lines about the oloid. And they are telling, that the
distance between the circle's center points equals their radii.
But, as mentioned before: Not a big change for a parametric system.

LOL...so Autodesk is also using Google search instead of the Autodesk
Webside NG search...

I guess that goes to show that the webside needs a little bit of a makeover.

I like mine better than Walters. Unfortunately it wasn't made with IV. I
added the holes to see if the solid would be editable since it shows to have
errors.
I'd do a quality check, but you can see from the jpeg that something is
trashed in this install.

That's exactly one of my experiments. But an oloid has a sharp edge only
along the arc. Along the tangential line it must be a smoothed surface. I
also added a third sketch (mirrored to the first sketch) and tried a lofting
trough three sketches. But now I don't get a sharp edge along the arc.
???

This model seems to be close to the goal. Unfortunately I can't see how to
model this with IV.

I mean I used the discussion group webside (not the NNTP) search. The Search on the discussion group website needs improvements. Sure. Thanks.

I should like Ray's version better than mine, too. I've made some other
attempts using Inventor, but none of them was really smooth.
But I've made an Inventor section analysis of Ray's Rhino version, and it's
looking very good.

;-) And Shekar has been reading here. Maybe a challenge for a future release
..

Not there yet, but try stitch or sculpt on this one.

I think i've come very close, if not at the same result in IV...
Funny thing to model... does it have any actual use or is it just for fun?
(i'm not entirely sure about the distance between the 2 circles, as i've just used the data i found in this thread as best i could. It should be easy enough to change though)

Very close indeed, but if you do a Zebra analysis, you see that mine has
generally smoother transitions.
One question, do you see any difference between the sculpt part and just
stitching up the surfaces?
Of course the unanswered, real question is does this have any practical
application or just a fun study?

Stitching them up seems to be less smooth...
and when i stitch them i can't add a fillet to the edges, which i can do when sculpted...
why?

Why does it not work or why do I ask?
If the latter, curiosity
If the former, no clue
