Brick Jack Arches and Arches

[BCrouse]

Here is a challenge for any of you Lisp Kings. Does anyone have a lisp routine that can create Brick Jack Arch and Arch. The lisp should be able to create these with insertion pt bottom middle. The lisp should also create (4c or 3c) Brick Jack Arches and Arches. they should have the option for a Keystone. The Keystone should be 1 course taller than the 4c or 3c. When the Block is created, it could send the block into a file of you choice. If you have any questions please ask.


Thanks

[BCrouse]

Would you want to pick one corner of the window / door and to the other corner of the wimdow / door? Are you aware that when you create the 4c JackArches and Arches. The ends need to match? What is the scew of the ends of the Jack Arches?


Thank you,

Brad

I love a good challenge. But I guess being Monday morning, I'm a little slow. Could you post a screen shot of what you are looking for in the final version?

[BCrouse]

Here you go. I hope that this help for the Jack Arches..



Thank you,

Thank you,
Hopefully the example that you put up will help tackle this task.

I hope that it helps. I hope that I did not ask for something that was too difficult for someone to create.

Thanks

Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish? I am not familiar with architectural drafting and therefore do not always understand the terminology. Are these to be arcs? or lines? Are the internal lines supposed to represent bricks? What are the controlling dimensions?

Just a few questions I was wondering.

See if this works for you. Edit if you like.

Thank you

Thank you your help. I am not that experience in modifing lisp routines. Could these 2 routines be put in to 1, so I could have a choice to choose from? Could it have the option to add a Keystone. Also the 4c height is 10 3/4" tall with the Keystone extending 2 5/8" above that. The 3c is correct.

This is for Richard.

3c (3 courses tall)
4c (3 courses tall)

Brick Arches are curved
Brick Jack Arches are straight.

Thank you,

Brad

Apologies it's my mistake
Some question...
1.Is there will be a precise quantity of bricks along the length of wall to the right and to the left of keystone or it is arbitrary?
2. I'm worked all my life as crane-mechanic and AutoLisp there is my of hobby
and architecture there is a problem for me therefore it is needs
much more information to me:
If we arch there is curve then considerably more complex necessary use method ActiveX. This will engage more than time especially if arch is with a variable radius as, for instance, parabola. I learned never in the college therefore I badly understand mathematics and moreover I never learned English
It is need 2 or 3 days to write this program
Could you post me your final drawing on my e-mail: fixo@yandex.ru if you be
able as the file .dwg in the version of A2000 or A2005?

Thanks

Change two last expression to:

(mapcar (function (lambda (x)
(progn
(vla-delete x)
(if (not (vlax-object-released-p x))
(vlax-release-object x)
)
)
)
)
(list chk_arc arc_obj2)
)

(mapcar (function (lambda (x)
(if (not (vlax-object-released-p x))
(vlax-release-object x)
)
)
)
(append line_list (list r_line r_pline key_stone))
)

Thank you

Fixo,

Don't worry about the Curved Arches. I will draw them out. But the Jack arches would be great to have. I have attached a 3c Keystone and a 4c Keystone block. Also there will be a zip file that contains what the Jack Arches should look like.





Your Questions:



1.Is there will be a precise quantity of bricks along the length of wall to the right and to the left of keystone or it is arbitrary? When you have a 4c (4 courses high = 10 3/4”) Jack Arches. Each side should look the same. The way that I figured out to keep the ends to look the same was to divide them by an odd number. When you look at the 4c Blocks in the Zip file. You will see lines going across the bricks. The lines represent each course staggered. So each line is offset 2 5/8 from the top and bottom.



So when you pick one top left corner of a window and then the top right of the window. So the routine could automatically add the lines at 2 5/8” apart.



If you have any more questions please ask.

[fixo]

Ok I'm still work on this

Thanks

[fixo]

Play with this..

Thanks

[fixo]

This will work with symmetrical curves
f.e. with arcs and circles
Simple version for 3c variant

Please spell my prompts

Thank you

[fixo]

Ugh!
Try this
BTW, my head is already similar to keystone

Thank you

[fixo]

Hey! There is somebody here? I seems I talk with itself... This program will work with the arches I hope

Oops..
My apologies...
This routine is works incorrectly with even numbers.
I will edit this as soon as possible
-------------------------
Try this one
I hope this will work better
Thank you

[BCrouse]

I am sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have been really busy. Everything works great. The keystones needs to extend above by 2.625 for the brick and curve lisp. Could you please make a change to the curvejack lisp routines? Could they be started by end point - mid point - end point.

Thank you very much for your time and energy.

Please give me more information about to all sizes of keystone or which type of it is you need
I'm badly understood a question, will be better if you attach dwg

Please ref. the attachment from June 13th, 2005, 12:17 PM in this thread. The Keystone that is shown in the attachment is correct. I use that look for the keystone for both types you have created for me.

Thank you,

[fixo]

OK, I'm understood

Thank you

[fixo]

Hi!

Please test this routine and check all sizes
if those are incorrect change them by suit

Thank you

[BCrouse]

Here are the Arches to reference.
