blending between two components

Anonymous

Ok, so I might be using the wrong term in my search but what I am trying to do here is blend a tube between two components on the second cylinder of this racing manifold.  The other three are fairly straight forward aside getting all the lengths right.  This cylinder 2 is the hardest and will dictate to some degree the individual cylinder pipe lengths which I can fiddle with.

 

Can I do this?  Am I using the correct term (i.e blend)?  My purpose is to see the effect relative to the other cylinders and eventually measure the centre line length from engine manifold head back to collector.

The very least you should be including in such a post is a screenshot of what you are doing.

You may try a loft without rail. That should wok for some of these connections

For other yu may need to provide a center rail by connection the center of these tubes with a sketch and it might be a pain to define a construction plane.

Don't let anybody say you are not a good man and let them live LOL. Cheers, I will give this a go even though it is well outside my current learning curve.

Thanks,
yes that works. Perfect on parallel faces, bit strange when faces are at an angle but it serves the purpose I need for the moment while I get things lined up.
