Hello everyone welcome back to PJ Chen Design. Today we're going to talk about
this really common design for locking style ring with the bead setting for
today's video tutorial. Let's get started!
We are going to starting at the front view. Let's go ahead to creating a
diameter 16 circle, and we're gonna coming into the top view to do the
design that we wanna for locking looking. So I'm gonna use the arc tool starting
over here. The goal is setting up about 1.6 millimeter stone bead setting all the
way. so I'm going to do something decides that we're able to compensate the stone
size. Let's go ahead to draw something over here. You can make it wider or
thinner for whatever that work for you. and I'm going to use the blend command
because it's just gonna make a very nice and smooth connection over there. If
you like that just go ahead to mirror to the other side, and let's go ahead to
join all of them. That's the first curve we have, and I would like to have
the ring shank width is about two millimeters. To set one 1.6 mm
stones. so I'm gonna have something like this, like offset, so you
will be the equal distance. The next step that we wanted to do is make sure those
two curves are following around this circle, so let's go ahead to use the
curve from the two view. We're gonna set up this one and this one, so you see this
following the circle. Let me do one more time. This one and this one.
Let me turn into the red color, so it's easier for you to see. If everything
looked nice to you, we're gonna have this one in this one as our cutting objects,
and we are going to trim anything that we don't need over there. We can
hide this one now. With this curve over there, if is everything look nice to
you, we're going to creating the profile. Basically, I'm
just gonna draw a rectangle snapping into an end point, to the end point here.
and coming into the top view. I like to have it somewhere close to 2 mm
there as the thickness, and we can simply just copy that one from this
point to this point, or you can use a mirror either way. Now, we have
everything set up. Let's give it a try we're gonna use the sweep 2 rail. We're
gonna do rail one, rail two, and cross section, cross section, over there.
We'll get something like this right so I don't really like this looking over
there, and also there's no control at this point
we cannot edit anything on this one so what I like to do is I gonna pick up
those two, and I'm going to use the rotate tool, and we're gonna rotate 90
degree with the copy=yes, so we're bringing this over here.
Let's move this one to the quadrant over here, and move this one to the
closed one over here. Okay let's do another test, we want to go to the
surface- sweep two rail. This is rail 1 rail 2. You're gonna go from here to here.
to here, and come back to this one, and make sure that they are facing the same
direction for the arrow. Remember recorded history, so we can do
some editing later on. Make sure the maintain high is also on.
Now we have something like this let's do another test by rotating that guy
from this point to that point with the copy on, and make sure that you
record a history so you got something like this. They look like it's
like completely flush on the top, so we are going to bring up this curve, and
then to make it a little bit thicker by pulling up the control point, and because
I have history and you can see they automatically update like that.
Now everything is done. I'm going to pick up this curve, and this curve, sending to the
other layer, and we are going to take a look on this one. So let's go ahead to
explode it, and then we are going to delete those curve, and we are going to
connect it back with a straight line there. Once we are done. Let's go ahead to
join it. We can simply just have that one, mirror to the other
side. All we need to do is a sweep 1 rail. We're gonna pick up this to this,
and we don't need to close the sweep. because we just need to have the bottom
ring shank. Now everything is set there. I like to do is cap
individual of them, so that one's cap. this one's cap, and this one is cap. The
reason I wanted to do that is because I wanted to have fillet edges, so I wanted
to fillet edges individually, instead of Boolean together and fillet. So this is
really important Fillet first, Boolean after. So let's go ahead to fill it. This
one we wanna radius inside for 0.65, so I gonna pick up all of this coming over
here, and finish over here. Let's do a 0.65 on all of them.
The second thing we wanted to do is to fillet edges on the top near by the
stone, so I'd like to do 0.2 over here, so that's going to pick up both
outside inside outside and inside. If everything will go right you can
Boolean Union together. The rest of it is the stone setting. I have a whole playlist
for the stone setting, you can go ahead to check on that one. We have been using
the bead setting in other videos. So I don't want to bother you with the same
content. You can also check out my stone setting course online. It has more than
just bead setting, all different kind of setting and plus how to make different
kind of stone over there. Check it out register
