3D Elliptical Vessel Heads in AutoCAD

Recommended Posts

Sorry, my bad, I discovered yesterday that an ellipse can not be part of a polyline. They can still be revolved independently.

 

I did a step by step of a horizontal tank with elliptical ends, I'm certain there are other ways to do it, but this uses pretty basic commands. I think you already have the basics, but maybe it will help someone else.

What other command can you use to create 3D head?

 

Well there is a lisp routine posted around here somewhere that would do it for you. I'm sure if you sure if you searched on the word "elliptical" you would find the thread.

 

Never mind. I went and found it for you. Click on this link.
