I'm authoring the following pattern:
The part is almost ready except that I'm not satisfied with the curved sine wave on the round border.
I'm sure there is a way to do it better using an appropriate tool but I don't know which one. Would you have any suggestions on how to design it?
Here are my files so far.
Maybe something like this?
Create a centre point. Split the longer sides. "Action/Split N-times"
Set the Manipulator on the centre vertex. Select all the vertices around and Rotate the surface.

Hi Vincent,
here's a small spreadsheet that calculates a sinus wave, unfortunately it is not very flexible, but it might get you the idea
I have attached the result as well.

Let me know if you want a different amplitude
Gerald
Thanks to both of you! I like learning new techniques

Thanks for the spreadsheet, it helps for sure.
I found the line too thick so I modified the width to 0.25 and amplitude to 0.375
I will submit this on PT now.
Thanks to have authoring this part, I need 2 of it for the set 10255 - Assembly Square.
A question about the color choice. How do you choose the right color ?
Usually, I use a scanner and a small tool to found the right color. For this part the pink area is closer magenta with this method.

To be honest I rely on my sight and I compare Ldraw colors with pattern pictures.
But indeed I have some doubts about the colors I used for that part.

It's always good and welcome to exchange ideas!

I made a second test and I agree your choice, dark pink instead of magenta.
