I need some education regarding loops and the features created within them.
Scenario:
Working on Ralph Barriers bearing race project I proposed checking the race as a sphere in 4 quadrants, pulling the points from the 4 sphere features to check the race profile and then using all the points for a final sphere feature for location.
I tested this idea on my cal sphere. I got 4 good sphere features around the sphere. I set up a loop to create points and saw them appear in the graphics area as sph1pt[1] thru sph1pt[9] and repeated for the other three spheres.
Next I wanted to analyze each point for a profile check but I don’t find them in the selection window to click on (dimension toolbar, location). That is problem 1 that I would like some education on.
Then I wanted to create the final sphere using all the points. Same thing, when I try to construct a sphere I don’t find my loop created points in the selection window.
I had no problem when I coded each point creation manually one at a time (no loop). I did run into this, couldn’t use “construct sphere / sph1.hit[1…9]” or “construct sphere / sph1.hit[all]. I had to create the final sphere the long drawn out method “construct sphere / sph1pt1, sph1pt2, sph1pt3 etc. The demon didn’t give me RED code in the edit window when I tried the first 2 methods so I think I got the syntax correct but the sphere created in the graphics window had the wrong location (way wrong).
Any thoughts, folks?
