Doubts in waffle method interlocking

can any one please explain

I did not open your Rhino file (yet) and worked only on the pink group below. If I understand you correctly, the problem is that you used ‘X’ vector instead of following the intersection lines. I disabled some of these components and bypassed them.

P.S. Your Rhino file is R8 which I can’t open anyway.

this isnt what im looking for sir , can you please open this rhino file and what im trying to do is to project intersections outside or inside uniformly , if u see the plates few intersections has projecting out and few were projecting in ,

It’s a lot better than what you had.

No, it’s impossible to open an R8 file in R7.

thank you for giving reply sir ,i saved this file in rhino 7, can you open & check this once please

All I see in the 16 MB Rhino file is this :exclamation: :question: Ridiculous… :roll_eyes:

When I zoom in on the blue shape I finally get the point you are trying to make:

I hope you study the code I posted, even if it’s not what you want as shown here.

could you please reconsider & help me ?

You posted a 16 MB Rhino file instead of a legible image to explain what you wanted. So I didn’t understand the detail until post #6 of this thread, after I posted the work I did.

Now that I see what you are asking, I don’t understand how it is possible unless the intersecting breps are modified?

Here’s one method (if I understand your goal correctly).

Surfaces on xy plane have notches facing inward.

Surfaces on xz plane have notches facing outward.

im sorry for not being clear sir

yes , this is what im trying to acheive . thank you kevin

hi kevin
when im using this method , at front end and back end of the model , the intersection lines supposed to creat intersections in the plates , but at the front most area of the model , the intersections arent getting created , gap is forming as shown in the picture

my question is how to avoid this gaps and create intersections at front face area

could you please check . thank you

I’m encountering some challenges with achieving proper intersections on plates. In certain areas, gaps are appearing instead of clean intersections.

Could you give advise on how to ensure that the grooves intersect correctly and avoid these gaps?
