MartinBlomberg Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Hey all! I'm trying to draw a 3D stage of a 2D drawing I got for a stage. I've put everything in order in 3D with a 3D locus, just like I saw @markdd do on one of his videos on YT (So educational!). But, I can't figure out how and where to start.. any thoughts or tips? I've tried the Nurbs-curve but I guess I'm too bad a using that tool since I can't get it right 😃 Looking forward to hear your thoughts on this! The 2D Drawing is attached here. Many thanks!

markdd Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) What, you mean like this?! If you do, I'll quickly make a video. It was quick as anything.... Edited July 19, 2023 by markdd Quote Link to comment

Yes exactly! But I put them all gathered around the 3D locus so they share the XY 0. Hope that make sense 😃 I'd love to see what you come up with. So thankful!! Martin Quote Link to comment

MartinBlomberg Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Thank you so much for taking the time to shot the video @markdd! Much appreciated! I managed to get as far as you showed but the real struggle starts when I want to make a simple 3D model based on the lines I now got from the pdf. Extruding the floor isn’t a problem, I’d say the roof is the hardest. Since the roof has a lot of curves I guess the Nurbs tool would be a good start, or what’s your take? From this view that we got, how would you do? Again, thank you so much for taking the time and effort! Martin Quote Link to comment

bcd Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'm not sure I trust the source drawing. I don't see how a tensile structure stays taut with that rounded plan view. Here's my take - using surfaces. 2 Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Dragging the corner nodes inwards (on x & y) will allow you to scallop the edges if needed. Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 It's almost certainly from Tentnology or Warner tents. Here's the Tentnology webpage - https://www.tentnology.com/our-tents/brands/saddlespan-tents I've worked in these tents extensively. They hold the patents. @bcd there is an edge truss that holds it taught around the curve. Its assembled closed like a clam shell and then the top side is pulled over into the open position using a crane or tow truck. The tensioned skin plus a safety cable keep the trusses in place.

MartinBlomberg Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 @Kevin McAllister , @bcd and @markdd you guys are just the best. So many thanks!!! I really want to learn how to model stuff in 3D more and this info got me started. Warm regards! Martin 2 Quote Link to comment
VIRTUALENVIRONS Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Hi Martin, I tend to stay away from Architecture as I don't understand the language, but the thread was interesting. As it finally evolved into 3D modelling, I understood what a Saddle Dome was. Anyway, lots of great information on this thread that points out the many ways to solve a problem. I thought that the surface method was very slick and simple. I like slick and simple. When I looked at Kevin's link to the company I noticed the outside edges were not planar for lack of a better word. I thought I would show another take on Surfaces. 1 Quote Link to comment
