Ribbon Cable through 90 degree mitre bend

May 19, 2006 4 Replies

I need to model a computer ribbon cable through a 90 mitre bend ( the one where it is folded over to change direction by 90 degrees but still in the flat plane of the ribbon)



I just can't seem to get it to loft. Anyone succeded in this or can point to a sample somewhere on the web



Thanks in advance.

This quick response, as I'm off to bed, its far from accurate, especially where the cable folds, but it may suffice.

Thanks John - thats exactly what I need - Did not think of one cable and then patterning it :-) _ I am an idiot.

Of course - sheet metal - !!!! argghhh - *** that my head hitting the desk ***
