Hello, I would like to find out the proper way to place points to create the handle of a coffee cup. I can create the body, no problem, but, I seem to have trouble with the handle. Would it be possible to post a step-by-step procedure for this handle creation?
Thank You
Kevin Clifton
Anna,
Did you do that on purpose? You see that is his other thread? HAHA...
Opps..... No, I did not do that on purpose. I just looked over to the right at the More Like This sidebar and saw the link. Did not look to see who asked the question in the other post.
Cheers,
Anna
Kevin's persistence paid off. He also asked SolidProfessor how to create a coffee cup with a handle and got an answer! It showed up today in the newsletter from SolidProfessor.

Kevin, why not post the part you're trying to make and someone will guide you onto that. Did you looked at the sample parts I posted on the other thread Anna has suggested.
My best guess for creating the geometry that you are looking for would be to sketch a spline on one of the "quadrants" of the cup. Give yourself enough control points that you can dimension it for symmetry (somewhere in the neighborhood of four or five not counting endpoints) and sweep the handle profile along the spline.
If you can post a hand-drawn sketch or the file you are working with, we might be able to give you a little more guidance.

Kevin,
Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not (perhaps a bit more), number of handles are controlled by the deisgn table.
A similar concept will give you a single handle.
hope this helps.
regards,
Alan
