I bought the Shapr3D subscription, even the iPad itself because I wanted to design an idea I had for a medical device. So far the program has been perfect for this. It turns out that I need to create a pringle shaped hyperbolic paraboloid plate that attaches snugly to a curved cylindrical design. Ho…

Greetings, I think Loft would be the tool to use. I had to look up hyperbolic paraboloid to see what it is and I don’t know what is a pringle shape is other than the potato chip. Anyway, here I show that the first attempt at lofting 2 triangles does not achieve what I think you want however loftin…

Thanks, I was able to cheat the shape using the same method I used to create the first curved body. Basically I drew a curve, then drew a circle under a point on that curve, centered it on the point and then did a sweep following the curve. Then I did another sweep with an offset and subtracted that…

Interesting. I understood about half of what you outlined. I’m curios though, can you upload a pic of what you made? I think we all would like to see what it is you described. Thanks, Mike

break it down to it’s simplest components. make an neo-ellipse out of multiple set of tangent curves with a perpendicular lines at the centers, the more sections the closer it will be. you could also try with splines and a point map based on basic calculations

@nmckaskle This may be what you are trying to achieve? This used Circular shapes but it could of course be adapted to use Splines: [image] Shout if you need more info.

That is exactly the shape pretty much, how did you do that? @Gelphyn Also @TigerMike I am going to redo it again because while I sort of figured out a hacky way to do it, I didn’t get the measurements right. I’ll post a screen soon’s I can.

@nmckaskle Be aware that this is written to be useful for the Community, this is only one method of achieving the objective. Sketch 2 Concentric Circles [CC] and a Line to use as an Axis Form the circles, as below, into Arcs leaving equal lengths either side of the nearest point to the axis line …

Greetings, Nice job Stan. I’m always amazed with the many different ways of modeling to achieve exact or approximate results depending on the need of course. @nmckaskle Here I expanded on my approach using loft. It may or may not be what you are looking for, however various elements can be altere…

Wow thanks I’m going to attempt to follow this and see if I can do it. @Gelphyn

Hi Mike. On a side note, how do you record your screen and have your finger taps and pencil clicks highlighted?

Another way:
Make a cylinder with loft, rotate the white dot before exit from the tool, make a shell , then Mike wrote😎
