Drawing Isometric Hoses - page 2 |
Use the Node Edit Tool (F10) to select segment 2 of the line as shown with the black dot. Then use the Node Edit Roll-Up (Ctrl+F10) to convert that segment to a curve. Finally marquee select all of the nodes and use the Node Edit Roll-Up (Ctrl+F10) to smooth the line. Copy this curve for later use. | |
Get the Contour Roll-Up (Ctrl+F9) and set the following: Offset 0.1, Steps 1. If your result is different it is due to scale. Adjust the size of your pipe or the offset dimension to correct the proportions. | |
Separate the Contour Group and delete the center line. Use the Node Edit Tool (F10) to delete the nodes highlighted in black one-at-a-time. Note: If you delete the four highlighted nodes all at once the ends of your hose will be rounded and difficult to correct. |
