    Default Extrude on Ellipse Path

    Trying to create a 3d model using a profile that I want to extrude on an ellipitical path.

    I have attached as an example.

    I use mechanical, but only open the vanilla part. 2010

    Default Re: Extrude on Ellipse Path

    I don't think acad can handle the proportions of the section versus the small rads of the ellipse.
    I can make it just slightly large but the section reverses so that the narrow end is outward and I can make it about right if I cut off the ends of the ellipse. (All done using the largest ellipse and the outermost section.)
