HDEAR Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Hi all, I was playing around with Malcolm's brilliant flexible hose design. I wanted to pug one end with a cylinder. When I drag he cylinder in and make it the correct diameter, I can't seem to position it onto the hose with the Triball. I'm new to working in structured mode, obviously I am missing some fundamental points.

Malcolm Crowe Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Good spotting Harley, The problem you're having is because the geometry of this hose has been created as a loft, which doesn’t have a “center” that the TriBall can snap to. Attachment Points could be added to the center of both ends (on the Total Path), or you can simply make the 3D curve visible for positioning purposes and then hide again when you're done. This is shown in the attached video. Malcolm Structured Parts - Flexible Ribbed Hose - Using Surface Loft - Positioning.mp4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
