Measurements - Need some help

[puzzledpaul]

Any use / help?

2 different approaches




1 basic N with bridged diagonal / transversal ... + ref circle (extracted end face) + edges to be shifted
2 Shift | Planar > LMB ... select anything that gives correct Y
3 select centre of circle (or cold be verts at ends of edges being shifted) to provide operation origin / datum
4 Mess around until diagonal edges tangenial (zoom in for this)

5 create block of overall correct external dimensions, place edges as necessary to define columns, connect diagonal across square
6 Cut N ... I used 10 here ... more, better but less clear in tut.
Vert | deform inflate > RMB ... select vertshown for centre
7 select vert for rad
8 after dragging 100% (hold shift to constrain)
9 Tools | Connect to draw tangent. Place end point / vert on edge past rad, drag until line tangential.

Rinse, repeat or use edge as reference for another parallel.

Tidy up and shell extrude required shape ... or finish off the wine if any left from previous post.


(needs some different cols - done in hurry ...)
