->Does anybody have an object of a drill bit, or a suggestion on how to
->make one.
->I tried lathing 2 curves with an offset to get a nice helix with 2 curved
->troughs, and then did a boolean subtract with helix in BG and a cylinder
->in FG. It sorta worked, but no matter how many variations I tried I
->always ended up with missing polygons in final object. I know it can be
->done - but I'm just not doing something right :(. Any ideas....?
->Thanks
->--Bill
Hi Bill, there was a good artical in March '95 issue of VTU on how to make a
lighbulb. The technique they used for making the treads for the bulb could
give you a good starting point to create a drill bit. They used the Lathe
feature in Modeler. Don't have the mag with me or I would give you more
details.
