How to model BricsCAD Maintenance ∞?
I initially tried connecting two torus shapes but faced difficulties in achieving a smooth transition. Instead, I followed these steps to successfully create the infinite loop model:
- Draw a Square and a Circle – Use the
RECTANGLE
andCIRCLE
commands to create a square and a circle. - Combine the Shapes – Align the circle inside the square and trim any overlapping sections.
- Mirror the Shape – Use the
MIRROR
command to duplicate the shape and form the ∞ (infinity) outline. - Connect and Divide Sections – Use JOIN, OFFSET, polylines (
PLINE
) and trimming (TRIM
) to refine the shape, ensuring smooth transitions.
2. Creating the 3D Model
- Extrude Where Needed – Apply the
EXTRUDE
command to give depth and volume to the shape.
3. Final Refinements
- Apply Colors or Materials – Assign different colors to the sections to enhance the visual appeal.
This method allowed me to create a clean and structured infinity shape while maintaining smooth transitions. Hope this helps others trying to achieve a similar design! 🚀
