Design of Basket/Dust Bin
Hi Guys,
I made a mold for that basket. Now I want to model this basket in FreeCAD. Everyone is welcomed to model it as well.

Re: Design of Basket/Dust Bin
How to pattern this feature in the direction of line shown here?
When I tried I got this instead of in direction of line
Re: Design of Basket/Dust Bin
Does your basket have a global draft to unmould?
Re: Design of Basket/Dust Bin
This design is very complex with the braided pattern. I simplified it and used a straight pattern and only half a circle. Even now it is very complex to build and I had to fight against the topological devil. My workflow in the part design workbench:
- Draw a sketch for the bottom
- Rotate the sketch
- Draw a helix in the part workbench, this is the only thing to be done outside the part design workbench
- Create a shapebinder with the helix in the part design workbench
- Draw a sketch with the profile for the helix
- Sweep the sketch along the helix
- Make a polar pattern of the sweep
- Draw a sketch for the verticals
- Pad the sketch
- Make a polar pattern of the pad
- Draw a sketch for the horizontal ring
- Sweep the sketch along a circle in the bottom
- Make a linear pattern of the sweep
- Draw a sketch for the top
- rotate the sketch
- The basket is finished, my file is nearly 17 Mb

Re: Design of Basket/Dust Bin
Hi
I propose a first form
To make the file less than 1Mo, I have to erase the polar on the red verticals and the spirals, it is necessary to redo them X20

Re: Design of Basket/Dust Bin
In the LinearPattern parameters, there is a "Select reference..." menu where you next select a reference (the line) in the 3D view.AIMEDSOLUTIONS wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 2:53 am How to pattern this feature in the direction of line shown here?

But it won't work, because this would create multiple solids. A PartDesign Body can only hold a single solid. What you need to do is to first create the main basket body that your "piece of pie" will touch, then the pattern will work in the direction you wish because it will have support.

Select reference doesn't work here. It seems to be the same like X-axis, no matter if I select a sketched line or an edge.

Do you have a sample file showing the issue?

Edit: I was wong, it's not the X-axis, 3D view just jumps back to the previous selection. I get this error in report view:

Re: Design of Basket/Dust Bin
Please look at my reply above yours.
But, what does the Path wb have to do here?
