Hello

Can a bounding cylinder be created from a part using iLogic?

Hello @andrew_canfield,

You question is not very clear. Please elaborate. Can we have a picture of the desired result ? 

Thank you & kind regards,

Hello Laurent

Not everything is cuboid (outside of Minecraft) for cylindrical  shapes could there be a cylindrical boundary?

I thought about this because of the fine detail included in downloaded electrical plugs & sockets & the detail isn’t needed at 20:1 drawing scale. The simplification tool in Inventor is semi automatic, what is needed for a bit more automation?

Luckily the current job has possibly 30 different size of plug so I’ll just model them & they can include a little more detail than a bounding cylinder.

Still think there’s a use for a tool which can simplify non cuboid shapes.

Thanks for the comment.

Regards

Andrew
