LDraw.org Discussion Forums - Sail 9 x 11 with 3 Holes (Pirates)

Hello,

Thanks again for creating my previous requested parts.

I'd like to request Pirates Sail 9 x 11 with 3 Holes (sailbb24), in flat and formed shapes.

While we're on the subject, what's the typical process for creating formed versions of a part like this?

And then the follow-up, would it be feasible to devise a GUI-based tool for manipulating flat parts into formed ones, possibly even to be integrated into an LDraw model editor?

It's a very manual process. I create the flat sail surface, then slice it and bend each section till the attachment holes fit correctly the masts... I then either duplicate/translate the surface and create the edge (if curvature is low enough) or make an extrusion (with Meshmixer) if curvature is too high.

Flat version now completed:

Long overdue, but the formed versions are now on PT!

Thanks very much, Philo!!

I'll update the model file of set 6267 and 6273.

Updated the models without this sail: Set 6267, Set 6273

They look gorgeous indeed. No problem detected using the sail?

I couldn't see any problems in these models and posted certify reviews.
