CURVED raised panel profile mismatch
Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2019 3:07 am
How do we accurately model curved raise panels in TS?
GOAL: Parametric half round cased opening with curved raised panels on the inside of the curved face, and where of course all the geometry is correct and the raised panel corners are beautiful. We will chain-sweep the entire panel on our CNC.
PROBLEM: The raised panel corner profiles do not match in my current method. The normal method of using a standard knife profile in the system to apply to the four raised panel edges cannot work. The issue is the profile at the end of the panels is compressed, curved.
What is the simple way to accurately model curved raised panels? Surely others have done parametric curved raised panels in TS'Wood.
The images here illustrate the problem if we use a standard knife in our system to model both the sides and the ends. This is the correct raised panel profile when the panel is not curved.
