Im trying to build a rollercoaster in solid works. I got the track spline made but now i need to make a banking spline. The banking spline needs to always 1 meter away from the track spline. I have tried using the twist option but the problem is the twist option is linear. For example if...

Having trouble understanding the question. Can you create a sketch on the plane you want then select the projected curve and use convert entity and add a point? The point would be on the plane you want and the projected curve.

IT WORKED! And it worked perfectly! Thank you so much you have no idea how much time you have saved me. If you need anything please let me know. Thanks again!

Ya tried that. Can only do 100 points at a time.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately thats not quite what I was looking for. The problem I have is putting the points in. My spline is 2000 meters long and for me to put a point every 0.5 meters is going to take a long time. I have no problem running the macro and exporting the points...

Any ideas? Possible to import it in a different program that could do this? Possible to make a macro?

I have multiple complex splines that I have joined together using a fit spline. I need to get the xyz coordinates of that fit spline in 0.5 meter increments to a text file. The fit spline is 2000 meters long. I tried using reference points which I converted into a 3d sketch and exported using...

Sorry for the post, I figured it out.

I was just wondering is it possible with this program to apply a bitmap to a part. Like say you have a cylinder, can you wrap that cylinder with a bitmap?

Thank you very much for the reply! Still a lil angry that the program doesnt support this kind of thing, but this will work. I shouldnt have to worry about the fixed planar alignment because I have the side wheel to control that. Now does anyone know how to make a peice of roller coaster...

I am just having some troubles understanding. So I got a picture of what I am trying to do. There is much more involved with this wheel assembly, its just to show the basics.

Okay I did all my testing but now I wanna do the final test. I am building a roller coaster wheel assembly. The wheels are concave so that they hug the rail perfectly. I was using flat wheels with a square rail before thats how I got the CAM relationship to work. But now I go for the CAM...

I had big time problems getting any version to start. It always said that Solid Edge encountered an error and has to shut down. Turned out it was my video card drivers and I had to get an older version. Did that and it worked perfect.

Hey guys I tried the cam relationship and I feel so stupid. Everything worked perfectly, thanks so much!

Hello I am having big time difficulties getting a set of wheels to run along a rail. The rail goes through different radius' and I need to have the wheel assembly run along the rail to make sure the wheels dont hit. Everything is flexable and I know the desing works. I try physical motion...
