Rotate axis isn’t working on all the circles. I want to those arcs on all the circles, and all around.
I’m trying to generate these arcs and loft them to create tube around. Tried using sweep with the arc section, but that didn’t work on all the circles either. Hope I’m making sense. Please help! TIA.
Dear Dhwani,
A lot can/may be done to make your file much more simple/functional. But..
when it works → it works and leave it alone.
but some tips:
study about domains + paramatrize curves (then you would not need 3 rotates + a mirror to get the arc in place.
In regular do not flatten unless you are really sure it is possible and needed.
This because when flattening you loose the connection to the set of curves/cylinders you are working on.
So in the end I repaired a couple of things (see the white labels).
And this is what is now.
Regards, Eef
RotaX wants Radians at A (Angle)
You want 360 degrees around. In radians that is the same as 0 to 2Pi
(the 10 in max is much more then that.) Easiest to enter:
Range right click on D → Enter Number 0 to 2Pi

Not to me.
- Cylinder ‘B’ input expects a plane, not a circle.
- Dispatch ‘A’ output is the same circles you already had
- Edges ‘Ei’ output are the vertical seams of the cylinders?
- It gets complicate from there…
Is this what you want?

Hey Joseph,
Yup, what you did is something on the lines of what I’m looking for.
Thank you!
Thank you Brad, that’s helpful. I appreciate the feedback. I’m working on understanding data trees better.
