How can I create this parametrically, possibly with mirroring?

Anonymous — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 08:57:20 GMT

I'm trying to create something similar to this lamp, which exemplifies my current need.

I'm not sure of a way to create something like this, while not having to manually change the size of each ring, or being able to change the number of rings parametrically.

Can someone point me in the right direction to learn how to do something like this?

Hi @Anonymous,

Okay, this is one way of doing it.

Cheers / Ben

Thanks for the help! The revolve is a good idea. However, it looks like you created all of the ring lines manually, so it wouldn't be possible to change the number of rings later.

You could also, draw the outside path, create a profile on the tip of the line, then use the Pattern on path.

I think I get what you're talking about. I'll give that a shot and see if I can't get that to work. Thanks!

That's just one way, there could be many more.
