Curved ramp

Post by pogomad »

Hi
How to draw a curved ramp? My first attempt with helix and boolean operators was quite a lot of work. Is there an easier way?

Regards

Fast example with blendcurves (yellow, Curves-wb) and Surface-wb (the ramp itself).
The blendcurves are attached to the cubes. Adjust blendcurves via data-tab.

Hello, greetings to the Community!
The example * .gif (very modular) modeled with "Part" can be done, obviously, with "Part Design", however we do it we can check the parameters using a spreadsheet and dynamically see the result.

You see that it is not possible in a much easier way. In your model you shouldn't use a sketch in a body; move it out with the mouse and remove the body. That makes your model slightly simpler.
