Create multiple size rings stacked

paul_bartlett

What would be the best way to create a stack of rings (each ring is 16 different parts) with each ring  having a different diameter, different height and different depth. These would be stacked then turned on the lathe to make a vase. In inventor I would make a copy of the origional then change the parameters.

Short answer: Yes

How to do it:

1. Set up the whole thing in an assembly
2. Create a new Part Studio in-context of the assembly (there is a tool in the toolbar, or you can right click on the origin of the assembly)
3. Use the "Transform" feature to "Copy in place" all of the ghosted parts from the assembly
4. Do the revolve cut on the copied parts

I should add click on Gallery 1 at the top of my page

@paul_bartlett I'd recommend creating a configuration for the Part Studio where you have 'diameter', 'depth', and 'height' configuration variables. Then in an assembly, as you insert each ring, you can fill in these configuration variables to adjust each stack as you go.

Wonderful gallery by the way!

I will have to make a revolve cut after everything is stacked to get my inside and outside profiles. Will I be able to do this in an assembly?
