Revolved Extrude - new plugin
« on: November 16, 2016, 19:05:24 pm »
Following on from my Profile2Helix plugin, this similar idea produces a surface so that 3D MOPs can be applied to cut the shape.

The idea is to draw half of an object, similar to the lathe MOP, and it will be rotated around the Y axis to produce a circular surface.

Edit: Version 4 attached, works with CamBam v1.0
also attached is a pdf instruction document.

Rewritten using  Andy's Python script code translated to C#

A wide range of objects can be used to draw the profile lines as can be seen in the attached image.

Edit:
Version 5.0 attached
1. Increased decimal points of Tolerance value.
2. Added Undo point

Edit:
Version 6.0 attached
1. attempts to fix a bug when points of the polyline profile lie exactly at X0

That profile reminds me of a ceiling moulding, perhaps you could sweep it out in a linear fashion and
do your own mouldings.

Dave,

You could probably use CamBam 'Extrude' for that

New version added to first post.

The assumption is that you want to cut the inside of any surface generated, however on the first version walls that were truly vertical were inside out, this version fixes that.

Version1 surface is on the left, new version2 surface is on the right.

Great work, Eddy! A rotational 3D object.
I just wonder whether you are the best programmer among woodworkers or the best woodworker among programmers. :)

Nice words thanks, but the answer is, somewhere in the middle of both.  ;D
And as time moves on, slowly sinking down both  :(

I think the name RevolvedExtrude would be more useful in helping people find it.  That's the term Solidworks uses.

I wonder if a RevolvedCut would also be possible.  For example, perform a standard extrude, and then cut part of it away.

Rename to "Revolved Extrude" as suggested, this sounds like a sensible idea.

New version 2.1 added to first post in this thread.

Also the menu items for this plugin have changed, see first post for details.

Source files added here.

I just tried this to fill a void in CamBam and realized it only seems to do 360 degrees.  Is it possible to set it up to do 180 degrees?  Or is there a way to split a surface in half in CamBam?  

I would note I am using 098.  

I notice you say only works with 1.0, but the David's plugin page shows 098.  Is that a different plugin?

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks
