  2. Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish Paul F. Aubin

  3. Will update this page when venue is determined

  4. Objectives • Constructing the Ionic volute • Creating the Ionic capital using the volute profile • Building the scrolls and completing the capital geometry

  5. Some assumptions and prerequisites • Create a new family from a pre-defined template. • overall settings and parameters including the category • Are familiar with various templates • free-standing, hosted and face-based • Reference planes • Can add and modify them • Add dimensions • Set up simple labeled parameters • Importance of “flexing” often

  6. Approach • Basic Box • Sweeps and Swept Blends • Scale and Proportion • Base Diameter • Decimal Units • Level of Detail

  7. Coarse Scale

  8. The Ionic Volute • It’s that curly thing • 24 flexing arcs! • Many sources • Using a nested detail item family rig

  9. Nested Detail Item Rig

  10. Creating the Volute Profile • Open the Starting file • Position the nested rig (already in the file) • Align and lock • Link up Base Diameter • Flex • Begin drawing arcs • Align and lock center and endpoints • Flex, Flex, Flex…

  11. Reference Planes and EQ • Instead of Trigonometry, we use Equality constraints • And nested Detail item rigs • Saves on formulas • Better performance

  12. Second verse, same as the first • Creating the inner edge of the fillet • New instance of the Detail rig • Repeat process of adding arcs • FLEX!

  13. Finish Volute Profiles • Complete the profile by closing the shapes • Save • Save As to create a second (Simpler) one • Flex

  14. Capital Family • Reuses pieces from a Doric • Reconfigure moldings • Adjust voids • Flex

  15. Making the Sweeps • Use a sweep so we can use the profile • Two sweeps back to back • Simple straight line paths

  16. The Scrolls • Sweep and Swept Blend • Profiles use Splines • Splines maintain proportions when scaling! • Flex

  17. Complete the Scrolls

  18. One more sweep • Use a spline path • Add parameters • FLEX!

  19. Complete the Order
