It there a way to remove the points between lines and make them as one ? I’m trying to sweep :roll_eyes: [image]

I recently made a spiral body using Sweep. I used 90° circle segments instead of 180° ones. You can still do the sweep by selecting each arc segment sequentially. -Mike

Sadly no Join option available yet :confused: if you create a conical spiral and project it to a plane, it may result in a single line but not sure edit: It will be a single curve [IMG_CB90FA32787C-1]

I will try it … thanks :smiley:

Hello mr Peter Unfortunately same problem I wish you make a tutorial on how to :face_with_head_bandage: But selecting all the wanted sketches for sweep path and then selecting the “to be swept” sketch then select sweep Seem to jump over my problem :smiley:

180 is easier but 90 is basically 4 different circle sizes in one round.

You are correct. My first large spiral meant to fit on my 11" square 3D print bed was done with 180° half circles. When finished, it looks a little bit oblong. I chose to redo it in incremental quarter circles to make it look more circular. I had to satisfy my critical eye :smiley: -Mike

You must have a very good eye because that’s the standard traditional way to create the appearance of a spiral in a volute such as a stair handrail. Quarter circles…

Back in the day, the only tools available were compass and straightedge. A technique they used still works quite well in the digital age. The simplest method, traditionally using only a compass, is a two point spiral. [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] The other method used bo…

Very nice presentation. The first example uses 180° half circles, hence the somewhat oblong shape. The second example with the triangle uses 120° circle segments, and the third using 60° segments thus making a much more true spiral. You mentioned back in the day. I started with T-square and triangl…

Amazing :clap: I usually do translate work like a charm But doing it manually… Your way prevent errors even manually Edit … But wait … how do you sweep like that ? Doesn’t it come as line regard of the swept shape ?

There was an awesome thread about tapered threads, I hope this can be helpful. The result will be a solid body and you can project one of the helical edges to get the planar spiral shape to guide the sweep
