help with sw part

Not all that easy to do, in my book. I imagine Salvador or Wilson would laugh at me, but I have an approximation for you at the following link:

It's not perfect, however. Just one approach.

Thank's Sporkman, i just wasn't thinking around the problem today. Totally forgot the shell comand :-)

Ok, I took a crack at it. I took some liberties with your sketches because they don't seem to line up cleanly in 3D.

The shell inside the dome end is a touch funky, so if that were important to you, I would recreate that face the same way the outer one was created.

I emailed you a part directly that should work. It uses your geometry pretty much exactly.

Now that I looked at Matt's it's pretty much the same as his with some slightly different methods. But the outcome is the same.

Here is a link to a part without the "funky" inside surface. Basically it's Matt's model with the end surface loft in a different direction. swhelp2.SLDPRT (424960 bytes) =>

Yeah, I tried that first, but if you look at his "sketch 2", the revolve geometry doesn't match it. Also notice that the end of his loft near the origin is on an angled plane, and not parallel to the smaller end.

Hi Mlynn,

Well here is my contribution :) 4 faces define the model. Use link below to download zipped file

Thankyou all for the replies. I love the way people come up with different solutions to a problem...

Cheers, Michael
