Generate some closed sketches with 1 diameter change

[billyetnono]

Hello,

I test actually grasshopper, and i would like draw a serie of tools for measure differents diameters.

copy one sketch, and modify only 1 diameter

list of diameters for exemple : 5,6,7,8,9

you can find my file test on attachement

Is-it possible to add a text on each sketch generate ?

Thank you

Arnaud

This is possible but I’m not going to download a file from a Google Drive.
Next time just drag and drop your file into a post please.

Below is a definition with two ways to create diameter dimensions with native Grasshopper components.

Thank you very much for your answer, i will test that.

If you want, i attach the file

This is probably more than you expected but I think it’s a better way to construct these tools. I just noticed that the larger diameter holes make those tools longer. There is a way to fix that…

Here is one way to make them all the same length (white group):

We might as well do hex wrenches while we’re at it, eh?

UPDATE: set bottom point ‘Y’ to ‘End_R’ slider value.

Just i would add the good text (diameter “mm”) into the each pieces, how i can make that ?

Best regards.

Thanks

Do you mean a label on each piece showing the size/diameter? This image is too small so I didn’t notice that detail:

You can use Text Tag 3D like this:

But as you can see, you’ve missed some details from my code. Look again.

Hi @Joseph_Oster ,

Thank you for your help, the holes are designed fir attach pieces together,

It’s for make inside diameter gauge.

like that :

I understand the design logic better with Grasshopper.

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Have a nice day !

So I constructed the wrong thing… Your images are too small.

P.S. Here is something that looks similar but works very, very differently?
