propstuff Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I would use Extrude Along Path with a circular profile, and a path in the shape of the link to make the first. Duplicate and rotate 90? in plan to make the second. Shift the second down till it links properlywith the first. Select both and make a symbol out of them. Duplicate Array of the symbol to make the chain. Beware of render and Screen draw times though! That's just the sort of thing that bogs down VW files unless you have a fast computer. ;-) HTH, N.

islandmon Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Sure .. think fractals here. two symbols will do. 1) One option = each 1/2 of the vertical link. Then dup & array with various twists +/- 90? for effect. 2) One symbol of 1 full closed link with 2 @1/2 open links nested into it. Dup & array as required. Quote Link to comment
