I do things with precision in sketchup, especially flat work.

Give Sketchup a chance. i hated it for a while...still have my frustrations. But it's worth learning. You can be precise with it. rr Tim Krause wrote: It's a real pain in the ass to draw anything with precision in sketchup. I spent a bunch of time yesterday playing around with it and looking at tutorials. I would think if the customer really needs a 3d mock up to sell the job, it's a very questionable customer in the first place. What did you think about meeting up tuesday? -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Randy Rhine To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 9:26 AM Subject: Re: sample sketchup drawings The free version of Sketchup cannot import/export DXF/DWG files. The "Pro" version ($$$) can. There may be third party plug-ins that do it as well. rr Tim Krause wrote: I like the design of the 12 start spiral column.

It is a circle done on a spiral path. Looks cool but without exact math for the line hard for me to make but I am sure someone else has thought of a way.

I believe it is called the "FOLLOW ME" tool.The problem then would be to create the curved path the cutter would takearound the pineapple, follow it with the cutter shape, then rotate theresult around the center of rotation of the pineapple to create the wholething. -----Original Message-----From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com[mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Groovy WoodLLCSent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 7:36 AMTo: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.comSubject: RE: sample sketchup drawings So you're talking a left and right twist on the some project, I have notdone that. I have only done straight cylinders with right or left twist. My process was draw a profile of the bit you are going to use. Draw a circle the diameter you want your project, move bit profile on edge and locatewhere you want it, hit the move in circle, click on center, hit ctrl key,move degrees you want ( should be multiple that goes into 360 even) like 30 then hit 12x enter, Extend object up .25" click on top surface only, again use circle move androtate 15 degrees and that should give you the twist, save as component and step and repeat to length. Hope makes sense, pretty involved. Reads should be done same way except use the use push/pull for straight ifyou have on circle you have drawn, Note try to do 2d plane and push pull before going into 3d.

Im pretty sure i could do it for objects of consistent geometry such as cylinders. I was trying to model a pineapple twist on asphere. The other one I was trying was a country style table leg with reeds (which you would cut from the side using the mill. I was trying to model the leg then sketch the profile of the Reed on one end. Then with the wireframe on, I tried to draw a line following the contour of the leg. Then use thefollow me tool. I think I'm doing something wrong because I can't get it to subtract the Reed. As far as drawing the pineapple twist on a sphere....I have no idea where to start there. --You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups"Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.To post to this group, send email tolegacy-ornamental-mi...@googlegroups.com.to unsubscribe from this group, send email tolegacy-ornamental-mills+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.for more options, visit this group athttp://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills?hl=en. --You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups"Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.To post to this group, send email tolegacy-ornamental-mi...@googlegroups.com.to unsubscribe from this group, send email tolegacy-ornamental-mills+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.for more options, visit this group athttp://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups"Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.To post to this group, send email tolegacy-ornamental-mi...@googlegroups.com.to unsubscribe from this group, send email tolegacy-ornamental-mills+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.for more options, visit this group athttp://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
