Wrapping "Icicle pattern" around flat cylinder

[rwhopper]

Hello. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a while today and even with a couple people's help, didn't get very far.

I have a flat cylinder that I want to wrap Icicles around. Here I have an example of what I am trying to achieve:

Rather than this "dripping" effect, I want to add Icicles instead.

What I've tried:

I created the 165mm x 1mm circle. I then created an offset plane to the outside of the "plate". I added an SVG of an icicle shape I found, and tried everything from projecting, embossing, creating circle pattern, pattern along path. Nothing seems to work.

Any shape that looks like icicles rather than drips will work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you.

Would likely make a single icicle in Tsplines, for an organic look.

Copy or pattern those, and scale a few to different sizes.

Might help...

Hi,

So you want icicles not popsicles?

Like this I mean but without the arithmetic error!

[rwhopper]

yes something just like this (though connected all the way around)

Sorry I thought I had attached my WIP file for you to have a play with

Would you mind attaching it so I can look and see what you did? Thank you.

hm Okay so I see you used a canvas instead. Did you just use that PNG from above on the canvas? And then how do you turn the canvas into a sketch? I usually used an SVG instead since that is automatically converted as a sketch. thanks!

OOOH I think I know what I was doing wrong. Duh. When you choose the profile to emboss to, I was choosing the profile of the icicles, rather than the "negative" around it. Thanks!
