jamami Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 I’m a little late to the party once again but thought I would post an alternate method based on the use of this free plugin at the Exchange:http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/ACD/en/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3astsc_uvvectormap_windows32and64%3aen See the attached PDF. This has been interesting. I have eventually worked out a way to do this using AutoCad standard features and reuiring no eyeballing or sketching. - Draw centreline of wire in each elevation. - Increase the length of the 26.08 rad main arc a bit both ends. - Break the 26.08 rad arc at the mid point - Extrude a surface from the side profile arcs - Align the end views each side of the surface. - Use the Project Geometry commands to project the end views onto the surface(I used Project to two points and simply selected the X axis) -Join the 2 sides together -extrude circle along the spline path. QED.... Quote

JD Mather Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Take pride in that you figured out how to do it (pretty much) on your own. Good work. Edited July 5, 2014 by JD Mather Quote
