Re: Is there a way to do this

Well maybe it is in the modeling? The small swirls were meant to stand out slightly within the recessed part of the base. It simulated ok?

Re: Is there a way to do this

No it is actually the tiny 1/32 preceded by the 1/16 and before that the 1/8. I was trying to get all the detail possible without chipping. So I carved in stages. It seems like though in my design I'm asking for an impossible situation in that area of the model???

Re: Is there a way to do this

That is what I thought also. I am using amana bits from .125, .0625 and finishing with a 1/32 D I double checked the angles from their site I have what they spec???

Re: Is there a way to do this

IMG_0059.JPEG IMG_0060.JPEG I am happy with the detail but there is a design flaw that does not show in the simulation. At the base of the column the taper of the ball nose is eating away at the base block in order to cut the flat spot at the bottom of the column. Can anyone offer some advice to ge...

Re: Is there a way to do this

Thanks to all of you for your help. Without your advice and Utube I think it would be very difficult to learn from the Aspire user guide. Although I have learned a lot, much of it is not clear to me or makes sense yet 😳

Re: Is there a way to do this

Tool path.png Well here is what i ended up with. There are probably many easier ways to do this but i managed to find my way to this point. When a tool path is applied the cut out seems a little rough. Is this because of the detail and the 180 degree sweep for the column? The edges are really rough...

Re: Is there a way to do this

OK so I did save another file...just curious about that. When the tool path is created I have always used "selected vector" To create that I baked the three components to get one path. Is that the way to do it?

Re: Is there a way to do this

Thanks for the advice...what about the "un bakeing" ? Is there a way to break down the components after they are combined?

Re: Is there a way to do this

Is there a way to un bake components after they are baked? Here is what I have so far. I really appreciated your help. I am learning a lot about the modeling in Aspire. I think fluting would be appropriate but I don't know how to do that yet :D I like the straight column better and it is closer to t...

Re: Is there a way to do this

A little wider base...yes. That is just what I am looking for. I will check out the design and make offerings

Re: Is there a way to do this

Where do you find the graphics that will import? I have tried some and they are not recognized.

Re: Is there a way to do this

It’s the half round shape that seems an issue. Especially if there are flutes carved in. The capital and the base will definitely need to rotate 90 for side detail. I am used to design and make and Vectric graphics. This is definitely going further

Is there a way to do this

IMG_0058.jpeg I have an old clock that I would like to design from. I am very new to using Modeling. First where would I find 3D models of Columns like this or similar to it? I do know that they do exist but the download did not import. It is noted that they are only )1/2) columns and not full roun...
