However, I am stuck at the moment of tangent arc creation.
<otwieracz>
I select inside corner of profile, sketch → tangent arc, and I get an error "To create tangent arc, select a point where two non-construction lines or circles in this group and workplane join"
<otwieracz>
Both inner lines connected to this point are in group g003-extrude
<otwieracz>
and does not have CONTRUCTION toggled on
<otwieracz>
I have no idea what was wrong, I've recreated the same sketch one more time and it works…
<otwieracz>
Is this possible, in solvespace, to extrude while simulataneously changing one contraing?
<otwieracz>
Like, let's say I've got a circle - and I want to extrude it into a cone.
<whitequark>
unfortunately no, no frustums
<otwieracz>
I have no idea *how* to achieve this specific shape.
<otwieracz>
Imagine a pipe, with thick walls with empty space inside. This pipe is expanding near it's end and the inside and outside walls are connected by multiple „joints” - where this joint is some square-based shape.
<otwieracz>
Or differently - take a pipe with thick walls, expanding near end (so more or less a cone subtracted from bigger cone) and drill holes through walls, one next to another, each hole is parallel to wall.
<otwieracz>
So it seems like it's impossible with lathe.
<whitequark>
yeah basically
<otwieracz>
And impossible with extrusion (because no frustums.
<otwieracz>
)
<otwieracz>
So this means it's impossible in solvespace?
<whitequark>
yeah
<NeonKing>
it's a dual parametric function basically , followign a path and having a "morphing factor"
<NeonKing>
maybe it can be decomposed in another way
<whitequark>
unfortunately our NURBS backend cannot do that
<NeonKing>
whitequark : is OpenNURBS implemented ?
<NeonKing>
i've not been diving into the code yet
<NeonKing>
but i'm likely to make a Wx GUI for solvespace in a near future :)
<whitequark>
why?
<whitequark>
opennurbs is useless for solvespace, it doesn't provide booleans, much less frustums
<whitequark>
also our current GUI is just fine
<otwieracz>
Ouch, that's sad!
<otwieracz>
I was hoping for something more „intuitive” than OpenSCAD.
<NeonKing>
whitequark : yes it does the job , but dur to personal reasons i'd like to give it a try
<otwieracz>
Where I need to write whole essays for comments about how stuff is expected to work.
<NeonKing>
s/dur/due
<otwieracz>
And also making everything parametric is pain in ass.
<otwieracz>
Like, sometimes it's quite complicated to came out with idea how to make something fits into something.
<otwieracz>
The idea of constraints in solvespace seemed awesome.
<NeonKing>
otwieracz : even in FreeCAD or any OpenCascade related if you build yours constraints a bad way the solver will f**k up
<NeonKing>
the parametric models often need some playin to understand the good process
<otwieracz>
I've never used FreeCAD.
<otwieracz>
Actually, I've only used OpenSCAD.
<otwieracz>
But for „quick” protytping in my free time it's just painful often.
<Na>
The cube-cutouts are using a custom style to hide them, so that the cutouts aren't obscured by the slightly fudged cube wireframes. You can turn them on by opening Line Styles -> s100-hidden-extrude-cubes and enabling the "show these objects on the screen" option
<Na>
Which I just realized is entirely unneccesary, because that's what the show/hide group checkboxes are for...
<otwieracz>
Na: *something* like that
<otwieracz>
Na: except the holes should not be horizontal but vertical
