Full Version: Sweep issue

Hey All,

The goal is to make this ring:



For the top section, I started by trying to create an ellipsoid shape into which the stone will be set but when I sweep 2 profiles I don't get a solid quadrant:



Is there a better way to create this?

Thank you in advance!
Gunter

Have you tried Rail Revolve followed by Shell?

Hi Gunter

A different method to make it more organic is this.
Using 2 profiles top and bottom, 2 sweep rails and outside scaling rail
if you show the oval profile around the stone and the cutting plane you can adjust the scaling rail points and top profile so you match it.
Then cut the top off to get your oval and boolean out stone holes
boolean out the inside to give you a flat.

all done
cheers
