williamS Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Any ideas or approaches of how I can better control the loft so that the central space of the spiral handrail is round or elliptical (I want to insert a central core)? PS. Got the original model from the CAD library at GrabCAD but I've used sketch blocks and (I hope) a better work method.

williamS Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Amendment to above - the central space to be round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshowalt Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 What about a Sweep Cut for your core, something like this Spiral Handrail _core.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamS Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks D, I wasn't very clear in my original post - sorry about that, but I've managed to get a solution by sweeping with a central line of an arc and then extruding the core. Attached image shows what I was trying to achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshowalt Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 OK, thought you wanted to insert a corre for fastening to the rest of the handrail. Looks Good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
