Semtex77 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hello, is there a way in VW to create a Cornu spiral in 2d? /w Regards Quote Link to comment
RonMan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 No, not that I know of. Some crazy soul could create a script that would implement the math, but I doubt you will find any takers. RonMan Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 seek and find out the wizard known as Islandmon. He's lurking about this forum somewhere, and there's nothing he doesn't know how to build. Quote Link to comment
Semtex77 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hey Ron and Grant! Thanks for your answers I know it is a tough question, sorry. I hoped there might be already an script to built clothoids. I need this special kind of curve to get a smooth road because normal curves won t fit in this case and i need it in a parametric kind of way. Right now i try to figure it out via Javascript but i have no clue how VectorScript is being programmed. Thanks a lot for your tips Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 This is an interesting problem and deserves a VW solution. I checked out the math and started to work on it .. but have some other project issues at the moment. soon come ; ) Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I don't know if any of this helps (because this is so far beyond my abilities), but I found this posting about making clothoids in ACAD: clothoids - open cad format Tim Quote Link to comment
Semtex77 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 -Hej Islandmon, wow it is a really an honour that you you gonna help me out in this case but take your time if you have serious tasks to fulfill. I don t want to bug you guys too hard with that but I hoped that maybe someone else had my issue before and solved it somehow. But thank you so much in advance -rDesign Thanks a lot for your research. Sounds good to me . I already found a lisp-autocad file but i don t have a clue either how to convert it into vector-script.
