squiggles Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi, can't find a solution for drawing on a rounded surface. I have troubles to put a spiral path on a rounded cube (around it like screw has it). Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiggles Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yes, this is the basic shape and I need to put a spiral around it. https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21Ai1tqSbLNWtRg6w&id=3BC9DFBBDBE54A41%21503&cid=3BC9DFBBDBE54A41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi Squiggles, So if you make your rounded cube, and a Solid Spiral Helix: Then Derive the Line of Intersection between these: Does that give you what you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiggles Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Brilliant! I thought to derive segments of the cube or draw on the sides of it somehow and was really stuck there. Love your solution, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
