I have already tried with the helicoid (or spira as I wrote in the message), but I have never been able to find the accuracy in the position (even because finding the construction parameters doesn't seem to me a very simple thing, at least for me). My customers using different software (solidworks and inventor) have the same problem and have to resort to the offset of the work plans and to each pocket make the cut (but you understand well that if they start being a few dozen features it takes a day to make a tree..).
among other things now that I think about it, the axial step is always the same, but the angle of rotation instead can change and therefore also succeeding to calculate the edge the game does not work anymore.
Maybe you can tie the parameters of the spiral and sample to an excel sheet, where it's probably a little easier to count.
Excuse me, do you mean that the angle of repetition is not constant within the tree itself, or does it vary from one project to another? In the first case I don't see any other solution if I don't move from excel or hand it over.
This would be interesting but I can't. I need to see if I find any guides. Thank you.
in the same tree.
Then I don't think that the instrument of repeating the long curve is the right one. Maybe you have to make a point curve and use those points as the origin of many coordinate systems to which to hook the repetition processing.
In fact, what he does to my case would be there too, is that he is a bit snout, but who has familiarity with the macros might even have the solution.
