      Hello,

      In my work I have to draw very often this kind of transition and there is never one of such. even if it does not take me much time,
      I would like to create a dynamic component that looks like this:
      http://imageshack.us/f/35/screenaj.jpg/
      the idea is to "parameter" the different lengths that I listed and perhaps the number of segments for the circle.
      When I tried to create the block, I was not able to connect the edges of the round and rectangular, but it's something easy to do "manually" with the tools SU

      in your opinion should I separate the block into 3 parts 'round part', part rectangular, part transition?
      there is a function for change the size of a face? like a "dynamic" cylinder that could turn into a cone?

      This is at least possible to do this kind of block? ^ ^

      thank you

      Laurent

        Fredo6's curviloft plug in would be pretty easy

        you could then push-pull the ends to make them a flange of sorts.

          Hi folks.

          See this SU file for ideas.

          Square to round transition.skp
          Once this model is done, it can be used as a component and quickly resized to required dimensions using the Scale Tool.

          Of course, a dynamic component would probably save a few clicks.

          Just ideas.
