3DC8.2 v1600 – weld – equalize – how to ???

Hi Dom,

Are your scripts all in one place ??? I’m not sure I follow – but – I’ll look for the scripts and give it a try…

Hi Dick,

I think I understand what your getting at – however – if I don’t know the exact position of where I want the point located – I wouldn’t have anything to input… The new point has to be located on the edge on the green shape in order to avoid deforming it… The edge is not parallel to the X, Y, or Z plane… The only known locations I have are the Fwd Point and the Aft Point illustrated above… The new point is some unknown position in space – between them… The Z I can eye ball – the X and Y have to be exact to be seamless – right ??? I knew I should have paid more attention in Trig class…

Really appreciate the help… Seems like a good candidate for a new tool – move points along existing edge – or – when selecting multiple points – align them between the first and last selected…

Morn’n Folks,

Question: In the image below I am trying to adjust the pink shape to smoothly blend with the green cylinder… I don’t want to deform the cylinder… Ideally – my plan was to ‘weld to’ the fwd points together – no issue – easy…

Now for the aft two… How do I insert another point on the green shapes edge and then move it to the proper position – without deforming the green shape ??? I tried using ‘divide’ on the green shapes edge – however – I can’t get the point to move up and down the existing green shapes edge without deforming the shape… I tried using all the available ‘edit using xxx coordinates’ functions with only the Z axis free to move… No luck…

Any suggestions ??? Maybe there’s a better way ??? I just want the pink shapes edge to flow seamlessly into the green shape…

As always – appreciate the help…

Hello,

I think you could use my MoveGroupTranslation script selecting one of the points shown on your image.
Then you’ll need to adjust the position of the pink shape along the cylinder axis (z?).

The objects must be in a different group.

Select the new point and then use the tool:

‘Set point position’

That tool is labeled xyz on the tools menu
