have you ever have trouble sizing a ring without rebuild the whole model. Today I'm
going to show you three different ways to size different ring models, especially
for the one with the stone on it. I will also show you my 3D model trick and tips
on saving information in the background. Let's get started.
the first ring we are
going to size is this very simple ring band. This is very easy way to make by
go into the "sweep one". You have rail- cross section, and I always like to
move they seam to the inside of a ring band, and that's how I get with this. If
you're going to size this smaller. Let's say we're gonna give it a new rail over
there, and you are going to size it down like this way, have it close to there. It
is okay for this type of a ring band. If it is really thick, but keep in mind that
you also size the thickness and also the width of this ring ring band. If you do
want to keep it the same thickness. A lot of time only things you need to do is
move this cross section down to the new rail, so when you making a new ring like
this. sweep one, using the new rail, and the same cross section, then you can get
it a smaller size by keeping all the way the same thickness. The second ring we
are going to size is this band with a stone all the way around. For the first
ring you could just 3d (scale) size it down is okay, but if you doing the 3D size on
this one, all the stone is not going to fit right, so we cannot just 3D size this
one. wW definitely need to do some editing on the profile. All we need to do
now is moving entire profile and the stone. let's move it from the outside
rail to the new rail, which is the size we're going to have, and all we need to
do is we're gonna do the sweep. Rail and cross section to get the ring band,
which is in the right size and then we will go go ahead to do the polar array
on this stone. The reason we need to do the polar array is because the gap
between the stone might be slightly different, so this one, since you have a
stone go all the way. You definitely need to repeal it, but keep in mind that my
little trick is I never delete the curves after I build a model.
I'll put into the separate layer because if I have the curve I can easily to
repeat anything very quick. The third ring we are going to talk about is
sometimes you have the center stone and with a complicated design on the side so
you definitely doesn't want to change anything over there, so we have a way to
build it is by "cage edit", so what we're gonna do is we are going to pick up the
whole things without the stone, and then let's type it "cage edit" with Cage edit, we want
to choose the first option for bounding box, and then we want to take a look. you
might need to try a couple times to get the best count on it. I'm just gonna take
a look on the default and see what's coming up for 4 x y&z. Alright, so let's
go ahead to take a look on the front view. at the front view, I have this
smaller diameter, the red color circle for the ring shank going to be so
instead of choosing the whole things I'm gonna choose whatever on the bottom and
I'm going to use the gumball to scale it down like this. You won't get 100%
correct but you will get something really close, so you can see you might do
a little bit calculation. It's coming in very tightly, even I get it way too much
but on the top is like a little bit room so it's kind of compensate a little bit.
It won't be super accurate but that way you won't change anything on the top. You
still maintain the stone size and all the detail on the top
or we do is shrinking the bottom a little bit. You will change the thickness
a little bit in this case and this is good for when you size about a half size
up, and half size down. if you size it way too much, and that will deform it a lot.
then again once you like it you can hit the ESC key and then you can
delete this box, you can see I keep all my curve in there, just want to make sure
that I can rebuild the whole thing, so please keep your curves. You can keep
in a separate layer, so you can change it much easier. On top of what I offer now
in my channel I would like to expand my channel content to all 3d model printing
subjects. I'm curious about what you like to know the most. For example, you can ask
me how to be a freelance jewelry designer? the advice for the Rhino beginner? should
I buy by MatrixGold or RhinoGold? can Rhino do organic shape? should I go to the
college for jewelry design? etc... the more details on the questions, the more
accurate feedback I can give back. Please leave your questioning in the
comments below. Let me know what you would like to know about Rhino Or the
related subjects. I will collect all the information and may be able to do
additional videos to answer all your curiosity thank you and see you next
