the hat Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Can any one help me Im a trying to solid model a square to round transition. Cant figure it out. Is it possible. if not a surface will have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 A picture's worth a thousand words. I think you probably need to FILLET between the square and round, but without seeing exactly what you're trying to do, it's hard to say for sure. Also, update your profile so we know what version you're working with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahim108 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Are you trying to LOFT a square cross-section with a circular one. Just guessing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hat Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 At the mo Acad 2000 but i have 2004 available if it helps. Tried fillet ant it doesnt give desired result. Think of it as a pyramid with a round top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Can you post the drawing, or a screenshot, so we can have a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kduck63 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I don't know if acad 2000 has an interference command, but I know you can do a simple subtraction with it. This is made with a regular cube and truncated cone.The cone has a base dia equal to the diagonal of the cubes side and a top dia equal to one side of the cube.

pjb84 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I wonder if RULESURF would work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocket Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 It would but then youd have surfaces mixed in with solids Kduck has it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Years ago it was a lisp routine posted somewhere here... ***editing*** I am unable to find it. This is the best I can do: here is a reference to that old post just unfortunatly the link doesn't work any more :-( http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4684 Maybe with more patience as I have you will be able to find the source! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hat Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 kduck spot on thanks, Why didnt I think of that. Brill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 just a small observation Kduck64: If you put the cone and the cube in the right place you may INTERSECT the two solids and you have the result in one step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kduck63 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I don't know if that particular version of acad has the INTERSECT command, but I do know it has the ability to subtract solids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagglyFawn Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 It does indeed have the INTERSECT command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardman Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 same as fahim108 i would have lofted the shape...here's a pic of the result...just note that i exploded the solid so you can see the rulled surface.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmgitau Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I have tried the loft and actually gives me a shape that does not resemcle what i want. I gain did loft with polygon (36 sides) and actually got exactly the shape i wanted. the more sides you use the better for the polygon (maximum 1024). you then can use shell command or substraction if you can have two solids the smaller ones being the internal dimensions.

Tony Wood Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The reality is that what Autcad can produce in the intersect solid modelling command is not correct, it is a near representation but still not correct. A true sqare to round will have a dead straight line from the corner of the square to the quadrant of the circle and back to the next square end corner. Reality will not permit an arced or radiused edge near the circle end near the quadrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronso Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Have you tried this? http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?18924-3D-Evacuation&highlight=transition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 This thread dates back to 2007. If you are looking for something to do I can try to come up with something for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronso Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Sure, come up with something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 OK. How about a 3D weave pattern. It must be over/under from side to side and top to bottom. Two different colored ribbons. No sleight of hand; the ribbons must weave above and below each other. Attach a copy of the drawing when done. Will you be requiring an image?
