Reply To: Collab 2020: Modeling Heavy Equipment (Backhoe)
Well, now I feel like an idiot. I have more conflict findings, and I am guilty of it too.
I took this from Kent’s posting on his Digger Arms:
For the black lines (which seem thicker in photos) I’ve gone with 3/4″ diameter and for the metallic lines I’ve gone with 1/2″.
@adrian2301
The hose diameter is 3/4″ (0.75) and the metal tubing diameter is 1/2″ (0.5).
These hoses on the bezier curve are using radius instead of diameter if you do not specify a Bevel Object and instead use a Depth (apparently Depth means radius)
If you specify a Bezier Circle as the Bevel Object then the initial width on the Bezier Circle creation menu is also a radius………….(face to palm, then palm to desk, then head banging palm on desk, because the palm provides padding)……..
So, basically all of my hoses are double the size they needed to be.
I made the fitting today and realized something was amiss when I actually sized the fitting per actual dimensions and then noticed it was wayyyyy smaller than the hoses.
Basically all of the hydraulics in you’re and my file are double what they need to be.
Maybe the plan moving forward should be: I will correct my hydraulics then give the file back to you to correct your assembly? Parker doesn’t have a ton of hydraulics to need to work with and he is going to make a tee that will mate up with my two lines going to him. Just P.S. @pfbourassa and all others using hydraulic lines. You may want to take note and not make the same mistakes haha.
It’s about the journey…………. 🙂
