help needed..

[suzith]

i am designing a concept car, in which i have to create a curve which looks the same in all three views..ie..top front and right...can any body help with it..??

 

[kenppy]

The only 'curve' that can look the same in the views you want would have to be a point.

This concept car, is it the Dot?!

If it's setup correctly a straight line will look the same in all three views.

the curve can be in many shapes, what you probably what to do is to get a 3d curve from its projections. just select two of them, and go to Edit>intersect.

You need to be careful just intersecting two curves does not give a curve that looks the same in all three views.

 

[tobbo]

can you draw a pic of what you want?


as mentioned above, a curve cant look the same in 3 directions. Are you refering to "how to make a 3D curve? "


Do you have Isdx? Or are you using regular Pro/E surface and parametric curves?

You need to be careful just intersecting two
curves does not give a curve that looks the same in all
three views.

the curve would look the same in all three views, because
you are starting with the views first... so you ensure that
each view is the same, before intersecting.

Here are a few examples assuming FRONT, TOP, and SIDE views are the same and intersecting curves in combinations (FRONT,TOP), (FRONT,SIDE), and (TOP,SIDE), not necessarily in that order, starting with one that does work.

What happens when you only use half the square:

Taking a look at the curves whereall threesurfaces intersect:

What happens if you use one edge:

For the circles and arcsall three curvesintersected at points.
