Looking for some help.

Need to get this into 3d so that it can be milled

First of all which version of BobCAD.

Second please upload the BobCAD 9 (.bccd) file so someone can have a look at it

Third try these links

Hi Jungle,
Here's a solid sample for you to look at or try. You have to temper this with this statement:

I'm in another forum right now talking about your shape. Yhis model is "close". The basic dimensions (limited in your drawing) are hit, but the curvature is arbitrary.

I tend to get bogged down looking for analytics in the simplist things. So temper this with your knowledge of how "accurate" the shape needs to be for it's application.

That looks great if you created that for me I appreciate it much.. Any chance you would be able to make a video of it? I want to be able to do this myself as well.

Hey jungle,
There are a few different ways to go about reversing this shape. I would like to demo a couple different ways that it may be done. I will do it in the BobCad forum where some of the others that help me will benefit/comment input also.

I'll reply here when I get something put up over there.

In the meantime, If I may ask, what is the purpose/use of this model. is it very simple and "non-exacting" or is it meant to be precise?

Do you have a "front" view? Is it cylindrical, egg-shaped, or what? I can do this for you in SolidWorks, and save it in BobCAD, but I can't do it in BobCAD (I just use that for the CAM functions).
