I looked around and did not find exactly any youtube videos or forum posts on how to do the following.
For instance, we have a truncated cone that does not have a top or base. I am trying to completely cover the conical surface with a rectangular pattern that has a set dimension (e.g. 2 units x 6 units).
Example 2:
Assuming a cone of height 10, I would expect that the rectangular panels would align and one would be 2x6 and the other would be approximately 2x4 (the program would cut the extra 2 units off).
Thanks for any assistance that you can provide on this item.
It sounds like you’re gonna have to modify your input for FlowAlongSrf to scale it up as the cone scales down, like I had to do on this just to try to maintain the aspect ratio :
Nothing’s going to do the ‘chopping off’ for you, nothing “cares” about actually maintaining the scale it is a “mapping” operation from the space of the input to the output surfaces.
Also any exact conic does NOT have even parameterization, you’ll want to apply the pattern to an evenly rebuilt Degree 3 surface approximation.
