Hi, i am really new to Cad stuff, I’ve been looking on you tube but I cant work it out please can you help. I believe it should be a really simple task, but is made un-necessarily hard buy cad programs. (i am old ish 52) I can create a cylinder. I want the bottom to be 75mm the top to be 89mm O…

Thank you very much, even after seeing your video, I had a hard time getting the copy bit to show, it didn’t just pop up like in your video. You solved the issue and I have created thank you. But in a program like this, don’t you think it would be “easier” just to be able to create a cylinder th…

There is another method, since we have the calculator you can scale it (but has disadvantages). The disadvantage is when you scale it, it turns mathematical circle into SPLINE circle so you can’t get diameter from the measurements.

[image] I-AM-THE-BORG: But in a program like this, don’t you think it would be “easier” just to be able to create a cylinder then amend the top and bottom diameter? seemed quite long winded. No, I don’t think so. What you’re describing would work for very simple tasks, but for serious modelin…

[image] Xdrakosha: I thought about showing this approach, but decided not to. :slight_smile: Ya popped in my head because I see Tigermike scaling to achieve similar results, it is less steps but still what you showed would be considered correct. Because when you scale, I found mathematical c…

[image] SCALEMODEL: Because when you scale, I found mathematical circles turn into splines when you project, and sometimes splines are not clean. Even worse, sometimes during scaling, four decimal places aren’t enough — and as a result, the shape ends up being slightly off in size.
