Im trying to construct a cylinder with rotated grid...Please take a look at pic. This is how my brain visualize solution...

Im trying to create mesh which will be used with paracloud...

any advise ?


Thank you for your time

Nec

For one possibility seems the Flow function is the trick ;)

Just Adapt gride surface cylinder as you want ;)

Seems like flow would work well. Use "Unwrap" script to get circumference of cylinder for 2 sides of rectangle. Use height of
cylinder for other two rectangle sides.

Helix with rotation copy, may work also?

Helix with array?

Here are my first 3 attempts.




Make square, separate, flip 2 opposite sides, select 3 sides and lineweb.
Select 4th side and one adjoining side, lineweb, repeat to finish grid.
Delete two duplicate diagonals.

Join the square, planar to green plane.

Divide square side of 6 by 2 PI, for cylinder radius. Flow grid with green baseplane onto cylinder. Done

The two flat spirals used a baseline line, and a circle. MoI froze up (30 seconds) trying to move the magenta one, (took 30 seconds to cancel move.)
The file save worked, but the file does not appear in the MoI open list. (The magenta one is very large, 1,778 kb.)

thank you people so much....

i will try these tehniques asap (tonight)...

Hi Nec;

Another technique will be to use Helix. here the steps;

-draw a helix curve and set the turn to 1
-use Array circular to array the helix curve around the circle
-Select all the curves and mirror.
