I'm trying to create (5) interlocking, multicolored rings. I've gotten close, but no cigar. I just need some guidance, not a complete draw. I know they need to be multibodies, but I get a lot of open contour errors. It will only work up to a certain point, then stop.
TIA,
Dennis
Hello Dennis,
Are you trying to make a 5 link chain, where the links are horizontal-vertical-horizontal-vertical-horizontal. Or are you trying to make the Olympic symbol thing (I'm guessing it's this).

Yes, I was trying for the Olympic symbol.
I did make 5 rings, multicolored, using the move/copy translate, but it does not provide the effect I was looking for. The rings don't really look interlocked, but fabricated to produce one unit. I really wanted the rings to appear interlocked. As I think about it, it just might be impossible for a cad system to do. It could be fabricated in reality, but not in cad.

Try to extrude your ring on an angled plane. (Or do the array in a direction not colinear of your extrude plane)
Why not make an assembly of 5 rings (the same ring, a swept boss/base on a profile)? You can rotate them to obtain the overlaps.
Or were you looking to do this as a single part? (Why?)

P.S. - can't tell from the Olympics site whether the r>>>

Yes, I'll go that route.
Thanks
