Help me to do this.. "Curved ramp" Please..

Gaieus

Thanks José - really nice tutorial!
And there's no problem with your English at all; I could perfectly understand it. Special thanks for the effort to make it in English, too!

Iglesias

Thank you Gai, one mistake was "in the bottom" instead "at the bottom" and one "is" by "are" plural.
It is a shame for me to speak in English, but I am making efforts to help people.
Best regards to all of you.

Hello All

There is an old ruby called circle slopes that will build a helical ramp.

Hello dtr,

I have this plug in in my computer, but to make helical with profile and making the revolution with a number of degrees, it is better using screw, you can look the tutorial above.
To make the ramp like the one in this topic, needs finished the ramp by hand, cuting a slice and so on.
Thank you for telling here, because this Ruby Script is very useful too.

Iglesias

Hello Gai,
Is it possible to see it from youtube?

Hi Iglesias

Good call as Screw does do a better job.
Thx for the heads up.

Now we need one for non helical curved paths.
Anti twist mode.

The rez for me on youTube was not good enough to see the tut but you sound like a good guy in any case.

Cheers
