[REQ] PushPull Rotation

Isn't that EEbyLathe ???

Since you won't know the angle you can't enter it in EEbyLathe...

OK OK - it is in EEbyLathe2...
I've already been asked to add an option for you to pick two points for the lathe's rotation angle - it's currently at the ~3/4 way up the to_do_list...

You'll enter 0 for the rotation and then after you've picked the axis points it'll prompt you for the start and end points to get the rotation angle from....

Wait a week or two...

I don't want draw the path before or measure for know the angle!
Just pick the surface and click 2 points : Center of rotation, snaping point

You are the king!

Yes, Yes, YES!!!!!

I like how these guys incorporate the protractor tool into their functions...

TIG is the man! Can't wait for EEbyLathe2 to come out.

Cool stuff, and as always TIG has the tools.

Just wondering however why not use follow me to create this?

TIG · 15 Mar 2010, 17:05

FollowMe won't make 'square' ends - it starts off at a right angle to the first segment of the path NOT the rotation of the 'face' being followme'd - it's a known limitation of FollowMe around circular paths, and one of the reasons I made 'Lathe'...

I'm currently redoing EEbyLathe so you can either enter the angle in the initial dialog or if you you make it zero [0] you get prompted to pick two points to define the angle around the center of rotation with a protractor like tool, VCB angel readout etc - I'm looking also at allowing you to type in the angle as you go...

tig.
in this new version of lathe, it could include generating estrución edges, and besides extrusion of faces?
