Hello everyone, I have the following problem:
I should draw a parabolic mirror with bricks, how could I do that?

I tried with extrusion around the axis and everything goes perfectly, except when I try to make bricks. Then everything gets fucked up.

the location of the bricks must be well defined as the mold that will be created by milling will have the brick seat for brick. (This excludes the use of textures to be applied).

If anyone has any ideas, they're good.

greetings

If you used a protusion around an axis for the time, it should be enough to create the necessary excavations to define a brick and then make a circular sampling, in which then you go to suppress the features that do not remove material

Hi.

This process is good for the first row of bricks, when you go to the second there is the problem of the curvature.
the excellent solution is to put them by hand one by one by binding the vertices on the surface, but if you don't just let me bind a vertex on a surface!

Look at the attached file, if it can give you some useful point. studying the problem mathematically I think you can find the right relationships (the odds are eye-catching).

Bye.

I interpreted it differently.
apart from this, the dear old wooden silhouette on which to rest the bricks and then fill in concrete the interstices?

the arrangement of course is bound by the size of the brick;

dispose of the bricks tangentially to the conical that generates the surface of the dome, look at how many degrees of the 360 ° takes a vertical row and repeat it polarly using that delta.at the point add to the others by hand (to catch the hole at the top I mean).. Obviously in reality must always be done the stucco after laying, unless you want to build a self-regent structure.. I should like to make a point. heal heal heal:biggrin:
