Door Handle in Salome: Version 2

Image
Here is a 3D model of a door handle . This is second version. This model was created in the same manner as the model in the previous article. The difference is that the handle has two bases and four screws. The handle was made using operation extrude along path. Your browser does not support iframes.

Cabinet Door Handle in Salome-Platform

Image
Here is a 3D design of a cabinet door handle. The handle is made of three parts: bolt, base, knob. The design is made using cylinder, cone, sphere, and imported bolt from McMaster. Also two #10 Phillips screws for wood should be used with this design. The following operations were used to make the design: Make Phillips screw imitation, using cylinder and cone. Create another cylinder and cone to make the base, and fuse them together. Translate the screw to make two screws symmetrical of each other. Use operation boolean>cut to make two holes on the base using screws as tool object. Create two spheres. Translate one sphere so that the solids intersect. Use operation boolean>common to make the knob. Import bolt. Extrude the head to hide fillets. Translate the bolt inside the handle, but make some of the head visible. Use operation boolean>cut to make hole for the bolt. 

Racket Model in Salome-Platform

Image
Here is the 3D model of a racket.       Create three cylinders and a cone to make handle. Using array of cylinders and boolean>cut, make grooves for fingers. Apply thickness to the long cylinder and cone.       Use operation 2D sketch to make outline for the net. Draw a square and use operation extrusion along path to make cutting tool.       Create long and thin box and use operation multi-translate to make net (do it in both directions). Cut the net to fit it in the rim.       Fuse the handle, rim, and net to make racket. Scale the final object. Your browser does not support iframes.

Stairs Standard Size

Image
Headroom-6’8” min. Tread size-10” min. Rise-7 3/4” max. Railing height-34”-38” Railing gap-6” max. Nosing- 1/4”- 3/4” Step length-36” min Railing placement-4 1/2” max. Max. number of steps-12 (The size of tread and rise should be proportional, so that the sum of 2 rise and 1 tread, minus nosing, will be more than 24” and no more than 25”.) This article is created based on materials published on this website.

Facts About Roofs

Image
Vocabulary Truss-framework of a roof. Sheathing-protection Rafter-one of several internal beams extending from the eaves to the peak of a roof and constituting its framework. Ice dam- icicles blocking gutters cause water build up on the roof. Roof Pitch         Roof pitch- the slope of a roof. In USA it is defined by a ratio of how many inches of rise or fall there are to each 12 inches (one foot) of run. The exact roof slope in degrees is given by the arctangent. For example: arctan(3/12)=14.0°. Flat, Low, Conventional, and Steep Roof Pitches. Flat pitch-from ½ : 12 to 2 : 12. Low pitch- from 1 : 12 to 4 : 12. Conventional pitch-from 4 : 12 to 9 : 12. Steep pitch- above 9:12. The steepest roof is 24 : 12 or 63 degrees. Why Roof Pitch Matters             The pitch of a roof matters because the slope allows for rain and water to run off. Areas with high rainfall/snowfall ...

Soap Dish in Salome-Platform

Here is 3D design of a soap dish. 1) Create rectangle. 2) Extrude up by 60. 3) Fillet the edges of the body (the radius is 5). 4) Fillet the bottom (the radius is 10). 5) Explode into faces 6) Build shell from sides, fillets, and bottom. (Do not select the top.) 7) Apply thickness. (Thicken by 1.) 8) Select the rectangle first created. 9) Apply 2D fillet. (The radius is 5.) 10) Explode rectangle into wire. 11) Create disk with 3 as the radius. The orientation is OYZ. 12) Translate disk so that the wire will go through the center. 13) Apply operation extrude along path. 14) Translate the pipe to the top of the shell. 15) Create ellipse. (The vector is OY, major axis is OZ, major radius is 22, and minor radius is 4. This will be the pattern of the soap dish.) 16) Select ellipse and build face. 17) Extrude ellipse along the y axis. (Make it longer than the shell.) 18) Use operation multi-translate. (Number of times is 4, step is 12, and vector is x.) 19) Translate the...
