[Me...] Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 So i am trying to get the intersection of a cone and a torus (the .021 dimension). Any ideas on how?Capture2.PNGCapture.PNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 It could be very ugly, especially because you're dealing with small feature sections. I couldnt get a taurus to show up even as an option for intersections (Taurus have always been the "Cousin Oliver" of the calypso feature family) but i was surprised i couldnt get a cone & Circle to intersect either...... What i did get was 4 lines & 4 circles to intersect and construct into a circle, of which you can get the Z height and diameter from. I would highly suggest (Insist) on using 3 or 4 touch points per line segment and circle. I have intersected lines as short as 1mm long in the past with very stable results. What you have to do is put the lines & circles down, then adjust the nominal X&Y's to be 0, and also Zero the rotational angles on the lines as needed.cone and taurus1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
