How to use object to wrap around another object?

vedran_alajbegović

I might not be able to explain it correctly so please check the attempt in the photo. In short, i have perfectly fitting matrix (for RGB flexible panel 8x8) and i want to have a flower pot like object which is able to have those dimensions as indents.

I would like it to be able to scale it self so that i don't need to change the dimension of the matrix. I want it to be inside rather than outside. This i what i have tried, the pot like shape has only round corners, i would like it to be indented in sides too.

Thank you.

If it's cylindrical, use the wrap feature plus variables and math.

Hmm, variables and math 🤕🥺😵‍💫 any help, example?

Since the flex only happens at distinct joint-like regions, I imagine this might work a little bit like the chain link feature script. Think of the LEDs as chain links. The tricky part will be to make the ends meet.

Very quick example with some simplifying assumptions (equal width and depth): https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f9038bb8155aad889df41f39/w/936e44e83d283204f350d281/e/772eb4a00876451cc394dacd
