    Are you going to do this in 2D or 3D?

    The basis of your sprinkler head can be derived from a revolved 2D profile of about 90% of what nestly has pictured above.

    An example of a 3D sprinkler head as drawn by Paul Miller.

    I am assuming that you are asking about how to draw the deflector at the bottom of the sprinkler head. Is that correct?

    3D_SprklrHead.PNG

    This is what we have in the office where I work.

    I drew the profile in 2D and used the PRESSPULL command to create the 3D version.

    It's easy when it is flat but how would YOU go about making the one like nestly shows in post #3? This is a test question. Think on it then come back with your answer. An image would be nice too. Hurry up, we don't have all day. LoL
