Revolve, sweep, extrude?! through path

joaoh261 — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 10:37:15 GMT

I tried all the commands in the title but with no success. I'm trying to create a solid out of these lines. Basically the end result should look more or less like 1/4 off an egg.

I have a vertical polyline that i need to "revolve" around it's self but the outside (the arch) should follow the ellipse on the floor.

Post your .dwg here and I will show you a video how to do what you want.

(sweep or loft and surfpatch and surfsculpt will do the job).

as you can see in below image , the problem is that you have an ellipse with two different radius direction that your shape will follow ( dashed green and magenta ). if you have a circle path it will be done successfully because you're using one radius direction. i think that it can be done by doing more than command procedure .

I'm not sure which result you expect. Here (attached) one model.

I'm using a 2015 version so I can't open the file. Do you mind saving it for an older version and uploading it again?

Also i'm on a Mac so Trueview doesn't work. Thank you

I tried it before with a circle path and it works but that's not what I want. The problem i'm having is because i'm trying to use an ellipse, that's why I don't know how to do it.

That's what I wanted. Do you mind explaining briefly how you did the top part? so I know for the next time.

Thank you very much really

Here still some examples, trying to use a constant radius (15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 19.9999) along the elliptical edge.

It is geometrical impossible to get ONE radius along the elliptical edge.

[EDIT]: ok, in the meantime I see that the suggestion above was accepted. THX

i was NOT talking about the way your resolve it ( it's perfect ) , i was talking about the revision of the file type no more . 🙂
