Can you do the Google search for me and attach direct link here?

Can you attach Inventor file of your attempt here (what version of Inventor are you using)?

Hi! It does not have to be this difficult. It looks like you are on Inventor 2017. I am attaching an image showing how to wrap a line around a rounded triangular surface. The 2018 part is also attached. You should be able to do that in 2017.

Many thanks!

Hmm, I gave this a bit of thought and think it might be slightly more complex than a wrap around a single triangle.

But it is definitely a pattern and can therefore be significantly simplified.

Hello @San-Teknik thanks for the interesting post!

Not sure of the final intent, but I just drew 1/12th of the line, inserted into assembly and constrained 12 times, then patterned at the Height*12.

I couldn't think of any pattern commands that would speed this up.

Hope that helps!

It's not only about a triangle it's supposed to run.
