3D curved fence

3D Design
1

Hello

I need help on a rather complicated project, I need to make a fence on a curved wall as my attachment. I tried different approach, I have already managed to represent the wall quite well but for the mechanically welded part I am stuck. I have to make a low and high rail in 40x10.

If anyone has a solution please thank you.

Hello and what's the problem 

or does it block?

Hello @gt22 

I can feel two surfaces offset to obtain the bottom profile. One from the top of the wall and the other from the side of the wall.
For the top profile, a surface with an offset on the side of the wall and a spline for the shape of the top profile.

What do you think, Master of Surfaces? ;-)

Kind regards

I think his problem is to create the 3D sketch that follows the curvature of the wall. and then in fact the "unrolling" of the 3 pitches, for the vertical normally nothing complicated. 

Given the small curvature, the unfolded must be quite close to the projected version. (even less annoying if the ends are embedded in the pole.

I think I would make an offset surface going through the center of the wall. (if the wall is constant  D= wall width /2 logically)

Then, a sketch on a "flat" plane that I project on the curved surface in a 3d sketch.

All that remains is to play the mechanic.

I'm taking advantage of having little work at the moment to test my theory :))

ah small problem impossible to use the "mechanic" on a curve but only on a straight line.

It forces you to go through smoothing that you will have to transform into sheet metal (see last month's tutorials for that)

 

Our stair railing experts surely have a method for you.

Thank you for your answers. Given the complexity of the project I was able to arrange with my workshop to make a template, thank you all the same.

Sorry but I don't see how to close a question or even delete it considered resolved, THANK YOU

hello @Zozo_mp 

via its attached image

yes me personally I will work via a surface base

and 3D curves and offset and projected curves via x converted sketches

the rest for the tubes scan via x sketches

always done (ch.. r) this very light gray tab to post images ;-(

for fun ;-)

  @gt22 hi, if you can attach your example file (SW2019 max) I'm interested ;)

Thank you in advance and just to bother you will look for the light gray button on a white background hihihi
