  • Constructing a point onto a cone

    I have a cylinder running at a 40 degree angle toward the center of a cone. I have measured the 4 cylinders and I am trying to get the center line of the intersection to know if the diameter on the surface of the cone is correct.

    I have tried to construct a point where they meet but it goes to the point of the cone.

    which would be my zero point

    I want to know the diameter of where they break out. I was going to construct a point at each one them construct the circle on the 4 point to get the diameter.

    This is not working so is there a better way or how do I construct the points

    Thank you

    Could you upload a sketch to better describe the situation. You start by saying you have a cylinder, then you speak of measuring the 4 cylinders. I can't visualize what your after.

      The holes come through onto the chamfer and I need to know the break out diameter

      Hope picture helps

        Are you wanting the gage diameter where the center of the cylinders intersect the cone?
        Construct pierce points between the cylinders and the cone. Then construct a circle out of the pierce points.

          When doing pierce points on a round object like a cone, be mindful that the vector of the line or cylinder doing the piercing will make a difference on which side of the cone the point is constructed. At least I know this is a factor with lines piercing cylinder, so I assume it would be a factor here as well.
