jlcDesign Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hey gang, I'm having a bugger of a time getting four windows at the top of a stack to equal to one elliptical arc. I can do it with two, but when I try to do it with four, the curvature of the end windows is off, and will not work, no matter what I try. Attached are a drawing of what I'm trying to do, a screen cap of two windows doing it (customer wants four), and what it looks like when I try to do four. Please help!

Alaskan_Son Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Try using a Double Arch instead of a broken arch. This will give you control over the radius. Not perfect, but here's a really quick example... Quad arch.plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlcDesign Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Wow, Michael, that's exactly what I needed! Tech support had no idea. I'll have to play around with the radius, but that's the ticket!!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Johnny, I said that because I used an imperfect method to draw it (just drew a CAD circle and lined it up by eye) and didn't take much time to double check anything, but I think you're right...I did get it really really close. Just not the sort of method I would typically prefer to use. I like to use more exact methods whenever possible and avoid ever just lining up things by eye. But hey...whatever works eh?! Actually, on second thought...no...I want to get it right. I decided to get ahead and make quick video showing at least one method to do so... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJSpud Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Michael ... thanks... you have rather quickly shown a procedure that likely would have taken many of us fellow Chief users much longer to complete. Love your videos ... short and sweet and to the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
