Help with molding of Scissor Handle

Workshop Modeling Questions
1

Hello everyone!

I have a question regarding a scissor handle im trying to make for my master thesis. Ive asked before on how to model the ringloops for the scissor and im now having trouble modeling the rest of the scissor to the ring. The Loops are not straight in any way and id like to have a smooth transition between the two parts.

I hope the pictures show the problem im dealing with properly. Are there any tutorials to model a part perfectly to the shape of a already made part?

Thank you to everyone reading this!

You can try replace face. If you can share your project so I can take a look closer maybe other suggestions appear in my mind.

This is what the “replace face” tool is for. Select the face you want to make contact with the other object, hit “replace face” and then select the finger loop you want it to conform to.

There are some limitations to this tool, but judging from your screenshot it should work fine in your scenario.

EDIT: LOL, of course @Xdrakosha beats me to it by seconds! :laughing:

Hi thank you both for your suggestions!

Ive tried to select both faces but there is an error wheter the faces are touching or not :frowning: Is there something im doing wrong?

Can you share the project?

If the result can be a single object, you can also just fully intersect the finger loop and the handle and then union them.

If they need to stay two separate objects, then letting us have a look at the project might help, yes.

What kind of datatype would be suited for sending it to you? :slight_smile:

8

.shapr file always the best choice.

Unfortunately this type of data export not included in the my (free) version :confused: Is there a free dataexport that you still could work with ?

10

I afraid free version won’t let you export in any suitable format. Did you already spend your trial Pro period?

11

I havent! I could try that, will report back asap! :saluting_face:

12

Last time I checked there was 14 day trial period. That usually let you use full version during that time.

Ive got it! :slight_smile:

I know why replace face isn’t working for you.

Your handle is thicker than the finger loop you want it to conform to at the bottom. When i just slightly scale down the edge that is too high, replace face works fine.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it :smiley:
