Large circular lattice work
-
Ah for Yurt's doors that is an another story indeed!

Pilou this file should clear things up.
Well after all the practice I've had drawing slats and trying to figure out how to space them. I've come really close. The last slat is 1/4” short (that's a 1/4” out of 536.735” circumference). As Dave would say, it's good enough for a sketch to so someone how a yurts is built. But the goal of this project is to draw it correctly down to the last nut and bolt. This is my big learning curve. I know it will take some time to finish and I'll be doing other projects before I'm done. To get it this far is “huge” to me. In the last couple of weeks, I've seen things that I've heard from people you just can't do with SU. Drawing something like this yurts is 1 of them. But then those people didn't have you guys helping them either.
The next step well working out the spacing problem, is to figure out a way to get the holes right. If I can get those right, then I should have solved my spacing problem. I've got a few ideas I've seen do something close and will give it my best shot. I've already seen a few things I'll be changing. Since I changed the top of the door, everything up there needs to be changed. Guessing is 1 thing, seeing it drawn out in 3D is another. Here's a few things for future work you guys might have seen something that would help. The canvas walls will not hang perfectly straight down, so is there a way to mimic the lattice work under the canvas to make it look closure to the real thing? If you lathe a cone shape, can you cut pie shape slices out of it?
So to Dave R, Pilou, Peter, TIG, and the rest of you guys that have posted up. Thanks for helping me get this far. Hope your around to see the final drawing.

I wasn't as close as I though I was, but ¾” isn't that bad either. I basically have 29 slat pairs I need to adjust the spacing to make is work. So if you look at the inside of the door, you'll see the 6 studs don't line up on the slat so the are in the middle of the overlap joint.
The 1st couple of attempts at laying out the holes didn't work either. What I'm trying to do is set up a component with all the holes (extra long) and a bottom marker. The bottom marker will line up with the bottom corner of the slat and the holes in the center of the slat. When I get the comp lined up with the slat, I'll open it and explode it, cut the whole comp. Edit the slat and then paste the comp in place and use intersect to make the holes. That a lot of work per slat I know, but until I can figure out an easier way. That's my only option I feel that will work.
