Apologies for the title, I don’t mean it cant be done. I mean i cant figure out to make it without frankensteining some peces laying on top of each other to represent it.
I am trying to explain how we burned 3 weeks on a project I promised we could do in less than 4 days
In the image below single shape oriented different is how the final piece would attache to the building. and he 3 in front of it are the progressive steps we had to take.
the last piece I am trying to model is to curve that last remaining flat “pie” shaped piece.
which I can do. I can shave (trim/subtract ) the face of a truncated cone and get exactly what I’m looking for, but then that’s the end of it, I’m not good enough to get anything useful to attach to it or extrude from it.
Any help or tips would be appreciated thanks
See below for the full explanation of the situation (I’m hoping it makes sense because I’m in some troubler on this one)
the far lower left shape is something we make on occasionally, “welding” a curved piece to a flat piece with a radius cut is not a problem.
the middle and right image show what we were asked to do and what I said we could do in 4 days. but the engineers got the shapes wrong so the parts we cut did not line up. I said w needed to change the shape on the short legs sticking up and (middle image) but was told that was the critical design element and could not be changed. and there was not enough material to re cut all of the large pieces. so the only option was to curve the large piece of material to two different radius and then repeat the process perfectly 5 more times.
