[Solved] How would you solve this?

I saw this dome and arch detail in an old architectural book, it was easy to make the arch and dome components but I do not have any idea how to bridge the gap between the two shapes, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert

Hi,

You can try to use first the function Shape | Other shape | 3-4 curves...Select your 3 boundary edges, then apply...Check the olh to learn more about the options of this feature...

jehronimo,

That seems to be the tool to use, now I have to figure out how to use it. Thanks for the help.

I have messed around with the 3-4 curve tool and could not get it to work? Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi Robert,

we need the following files to allow the correct files opening:

arch 03.top
dome_01.top
four sided pilaster-01.top

You can use the function File | ink to be sure to export correctly a file with all the links

EDIT : or just use a Parasolid export, in this case

Hello Robert,

Sorry for the late answer...

I downloaded your files, and the solution was not really the 3-4 curves...I copy the boundary edges, trim the circle edge, and create a Constrained surface, as you can see in the linked file...Just have a look in the design tree, to understand how I made your fill surface...

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at the file and coming up with a solution, i'm going through the design tree trying to understand what you have done, those are new tools i have not used yet.

Thanks again
