Creating diameter from section cone, plane

[[Br...]]

Hello,

Hope someone can help me here. I can't find a way to determine a diameter created from an intersection from a cone with a plane. 

I am sure there must be an easy way, but I can' t find it.

Hello Bram,

there is an intersection ellipse cone/plane in the construction menu. Another approach is to construct an intersection curve from geometrical elements -> RMB on curve -> select all points of element -> create fitting circle -> referenced construction.

Hello Nanno,

That helped me allot. I tried both. Almost no diameter difference. Thanks!

Hello,

That helped me a lot too, thank! Small difference between the two methods for me but not sign

Hello,

That helped me a lot too, thank!

0.001 mm difference between two methods.

Have you a method to make intersection between two cones please ?

Best regards.

Hi Gouret,

there is an intersection curve, which will work for cones:

The elements have to intersect though, so you might have to edit the size in the properties. Depending on your inspection you could also use a cylinder/cone based section (https://techguide.gom.com/en/gom-software-2022/article/cmd_section_create_multiple_cylinder_based_section.html).

Hello Nanno,

Thanks for your help.

I used an intersection curve.

Best regards,
