(...) Mmhhh... maybe by setting 2 conditional rings on the junction. Each condring would be set between a cylinder and a cone. Scaling the ring would adapt to various cone slopes. Of course 2 rings would be needed, one for converging cones, one for (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That's a primitive I have been longing for... but I realized it is impossible to build: where would you put the control lines? The top control points would need to be scaled differently from bottom ones to match various cylinders/cones (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I just noticed something else while investigating a fix for the above problem. The above model could really use a circular conditional edge primitive. I would vote for x-ycedge.dat as the filename (ie 1-4cedge.dat, 4-4cedge.dat, (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Thanks! For the record: - Ytruder 1.2 is no longer limited to Y direction and can extrude along x, y or z directions - Intersector 1.3 has a new scaling option that improves result for small parts. Philo (18 years ago, 12-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

A new version of LETGUI ((URL) is now available. Support for new commandline options for Ytruder1.2 and Intersector1.3 are added. Have fun! cu mikeheide (18 years ago, 12-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I do not understand correctly what you are saying. If you use a cone primitive you can stretch it in all direction. There is no need to use "about 40 cones". A maximum of 10 should do the same! You should use for this the program "cones and (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Just to refresh my memory ( I haven't done any parts since 2951) The 48 primitives divide a circle in 48 straight lines, right?
