Hello all!
Im wondering if someone can suggest a way to model the raised ridge on this clamp? I can design a ridge but nothing close to this shape?
i guess you missed uploading the image?
one method would be, draw the outline of it as a closed curve use PlanarSrf, duplicate and move the surface or use OffsetSrf, followed by BlendSrf, then simply trim of the rest with the intersecting curve/surface.
you can also angle the two reflecting surface slightly if you wan them to be thicker at the intersection surface and thinner at the front.
What a great approach! Thanks, Im gonna give it a go!
