Shape Generator

Post by KostasP »

Greetings,

Is there a tutorial for Shape Generator? I have attempted building a trapezoidal box with no success, example:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1olFl8o ... sp=sharing

I have been calculating via the plug in like this, X 5 .199 X6 .000 1 X .199 2 X.000 and so on ..

Or would there be a better solution for drawing the speaker box?

Please note the actual speaker components shown I will import as a front image.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Kostas

If sharp corners are not a problem, shape generator is easiest way to create trapezoidal box.
I feel that tutorial is not necessay: draw 3D-sketch of your shape on paper with all corners visible, then mark points in same manner as generator does. I hope that next picture help.
Handy feature is that generator remember your earlier coordinates, so it's easy to make fixes.

Good luck!
