How to Create Loop?

Anonymous

i want create a tube with MCG. i have some ideas how i do that but i am not coder so i dont know what i must do exactly. i think i need loop for create n-gon's shape first. i will input Radius and N (vertex number) so MCG create shape with n-gon formula (360/N for per vertex's angle. R per vertex radius.) then i add some paramater (W) for width. copy shape and increase radius for each vertex as value of W. then add "face" remote. can it work?

not exactly sure what you mean by tube...you mean a small cyl inside a bigger cyl ? Before we complicate things, if you get the Sample Pack, in Create panel (not Modifier panel) down the bottom in Max Creation Graph, there's ACylinder (and lots of other primitives). See if this will help you.

so thanks, "simplecylinder" is so nice.

 

yes i mean that for tube like in . and i want this tool with one more parameter : width. i mean like shell.

but i didnt get the system's work :S... i ll look more and more.  for example "hight segments" create segments corner to corner. its not quite right...

 

Acttualy, i want create some tool; it creates tube (which i told untill now) but if i increase tubes number (another paramater : T) it will create tubes inside by inside. tubes's width values will be same but distance will be changeable. and  i hope i could tell 🙂

 

 

i add jpeg to tell what i mean.

i add tool to attachment but webpage doesnt let me.

Only certain filetypes can be attached directly - if in doubt Zip the file first. Also note that there is a 5MB size limit per post.
