Help Me Draw A Dome [TUTORIAL]
-
And in this perspective format or orthogonal? (Perspective cannot be printed to scale). Also, no grey dome then? (Above you said brown and grey). And in colour or B&W?
-
Hi Gaieus
Orthogonal is fine. The Grey dome will need to be printed on a separate page. Black and White is perfect.
Edit: Sorry Gaieus, can I ask for 1 more favor? Can you give me 3 views of each of the domes. I need the Right , Back and Top view if possible.
Thanks

Here's a SKP with the Volumes done by Integration.
I separated the colored parts. I thought you might want them like that ?
There's also a total...
I had to combine the pieces and then remove some internal partitions etc...![Dome V2 Final redone [Volume].png](/uploads/imported_attachments/EvRP_DomeV2FinalredoneVolume.png)

So TIG it seems you made Stinkie's head gear as well ...

Okay, here is one of the Brown dome on 3 pages. It actually fit on an A1 paper but the bigger ones will not fit for sure. Shall I rather export this on an A3 instead?
-
Hi Gaieus
Thanks for printing me the Requested views. Sorry, forgot to tell to turn off the Grids. Please can you reprint it and you mentioned that you can print it to A3. That should be fine as long as it fits 1:1 scale on this page size.
I'm sorry to trouble you again but I need some other prints as well as some adjustments to the model if possible.
Print outs are as follows.
-
As mentioned above, the brown dome you just printed but with the Grids Turned off.
-
The Grey dome to be printed the same as the brown dome.
-
The entrance of the dome (front view) in the same manner that the domes in (1) and (2) have been printed. Difference here is there is only one view unlike the domes which have 3 views.
-
Lastly, this next request refers to the section cut. Is it possible to print out on separate pages, each dome separately on a 1:1 scale. I have attached an image of what I mean.
Below is the Brown Dome Only
Below is the gray Dome only.
With regards to the adjustments, if its too complicated and may affect the dimensions by large amounts, then we can skip it and I will work around it.
I have attached an image of what adjustments I would like to make.
Thanks

No, sorry, I really meant A0 no A3. That's a typo. So this smallest dome can fit on an A1 but the rest won't. So the question is - shall I print this one on an A1 and the others on A0'a or should all be the same (A0) instead?
-
Hi Gaieus
All can be on A0.
Thanks

OK, I will do then.

Hi Gaieus
How are you?
Just thought I'd pop in and see how those print outs are coming along.
Thanks

Hi d0ome,
Sorry but indeed I totally abandoned you.
I promise I will do those exports but I had a whole sh***tload of things to deal with during the week-end (and still have things to do).

No Problem Gaieus.
Whenever you have the time.I just realized a huge error of mine. The 48mm radius pipe in the centre of my dome was supposed to be 24mm radius. I should have paid more attention to math class because I just confused radius and diameter.
I tried all morning to resolve it but couldn't entirely. I managed to fill the 48mm bunghole but now I need to fuse it back with my dome pieces and then intersect my 24mm pipe.
The other solution is, as my usual self. I can redo the domes, intersect with 24mm pipe and then copy the entrance from my current model though I don't really know how to put this into practice on SU. Personally, the entrace is most time consuming, so redoing the dome will be easiest.
Well these are the only 2 solutions I can think of but I guess you have something in mind that's less complicated and time consuming.
Look forward to hearing from you
Thanks

Good I didn't start exporting!Well, if that top is missing, it would be more to fiddle around filling it (and then reopening a smaller) than redoing it IMO. That entrance is not that hard - last time you skipped it anyway so now you can make it.
-
Hi Gaieus
I have started redoing my model with the correct pipe size.
I have already completed my domes. Now starting to slice up my melon and then proceed from there.Yep, I did skip the entrance the last time so this is my chance to it properly.
Thanks and will keep you informed

Hi Gaieus
Hope you are well.I have completed my model.
It now has bunghole of 48mm Diameter.
Can you export the model for me on a 1:1 scale in the following way?
- Print the section cut as is with grids turned off
- Print the entrance from the right camera view as is
Also, can you show me a Step by Step of how to export as I will probably download the pro version of SU tonight and I would love to play around with this cool feature of SU.
Thanks

Hi Dome,
I was wondering what happened...
OK, I will do (as well as try to make screenshots in LayOut, too) but today is a very busy day for me (just hopping in in every half an hour to the forums to see if everything is okay) so I am not sure I will finish today.
-
Hi Gaieus
Not a problem
Whenever you have the time to do it works just fine for me.
Thanks

Hi Gaieus
Just checking if you didn't forget about my exports and "How To" do it using layout?
Thanks

No Dome, did not forget - and still only checking in to see if everything is all right - I have to finish a 7 page translation today and a 30-40 page manuscript on some Early Christian mural opaintings by tomorrow (although I suspect I cannot finish it just by the end of Eastern).
So I guess, during the holidays I can catch up with my things - including the dome (and sorry for the delay...)

No need to apologies. The fact that you included my dome into your busy schedule is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
