How do I do in SharkCAD V12 PP what is done starting at 4m 51s? The "Spin" tool.

For years, I either started with a crve and surface, or a curve and pipe.

Also, starting witha primitive or a sample surface based on a circle, how do I extrude a surface up, then freeform introduce bends that do smooth radiuses so I don't have to in advance plane a route so that I get a pipe that is not wacky?


Here is more on the Spin tool:

That's from 3 years ago. I'm today struggling to replicate that in SharkCAD v12 PP. I want to so it with surfaces and solids. I'm not crazy about meshes yet.

Does anyone know of any ViaCAD or SharkCAD tutorials for doing that?

Thanks.

Something I finally today after 10 years figured out and like is the deep-select rotate. Tho, it doesn't like working on many of the chamfers and bevels and blended edges I put on primitive blocks and cylinders.

Thanks, Tim.

I'll try again.

A week or two ago, on a lark/distraction, I bent things and was impressed. IIRC, I only bent flat plate, not a pile.

Yesterday, when intentionally trying to bend a solid, a mesh, and a surface, whether with the Gripper or the Bend tool, I got compressed/distorted results by Gripper and got error messages by the Bend tool.

I checked the filter and snap settings, did get contact, but noted that with and without a guide curve, whether a regular line of 2 or 3 points, or a spline of 4 points (2 coincident at a vertex, to make a 90-degree bend), I repeatedly met with failure.

I'll try again.

But, It would be nice to have a Gripper visual reference. I will try with neat interpolated splines in various shapes against various objects.

Success!

Thanks!
