 Hi All,
can you help me regarding this point? is needed to make some eccentric reductions for pipes!

Thank You!

    You can try to use the LOFTX-command by Konstantin Sakellaris or ask me for my (very old) RNDTORND.lsp to create surface- or 3DSOLID-models of

    eccentrical tansitions.

    Since BricsCAD does not yet feature lofting functionality, this needs a bit of labor, but you can do it without any add-ons - you just have to construct an elliptical cone and slice it to get the desired result.
     
    I don't have the time to write a full tutorial, if you like,  just try if the attached file gets you on the track: the red lines indicate the desired geometry, the cyan lines are intermediate geometry, and the green lines are the geometry of the elliptical cone.

    (After slicing the cone, I turned it into a pipe using the solidedit/body/shell command).

    Hi Adrian,

    since version 14.02.x you can loft eccentric Cones in Bricscad by using a Circle and a Point as Start and End Loft Profiles respectively.
    Download my plug-in at

    and use the LOFTX command to loft any eccentric Cone you like !
    Attached you find an example drawing.
