nslinco Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I am creating a hair clip such as this and after creating the most basic version I could think of I can't find a way to connect the two bottom arms. I filleted the ends and I have an axis through each end. I want it to bend together to create the same form as the actual hair clip. Any ideas?

lrm Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I might start with three work planes that are perpendicular to the base, XZ plane. Each of these work planes bisects one of the three tines of the hair clip. I would then create a spline on each of the three work planes that all start at the same elevation but terminate in a stacked manner. You can then sweep a cross section of the tine (a rectangle?) along each of these splines. Further editing, of course, would be needed but hopefully this provides you a place to start.

JD Mather Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Attach the *.ipt of your attempt here. If it were me. I would trim a surface and then thicken, about 10 minutes of work (guessing dimensions), less if I knew the dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
