With this command, you can create a curve of a ring, with the precise diameter of the size you want.
Running this command will display its parameters in the Commands toolbar.
Once the command has been executed, you can choose from various international sizing scales and sizes and what type of curve you want to create, whether closed, open, bypass, or twisted.
The Ring Curve will be listed on the Outliner toolbar when you confirm your changes.
Goldsmith Tip : Starting your ring designs with the ring curve is highly recommended. This serves as a crucial reference point, allowing you to accurately measure the distance from the finger to the culet of the stones and other key components.
Finger Size
Allows users to select different finger sizes to adjust the ring accordingly.
Parameters
Closed: Provides a closed curve for the ring's creation, resulting in a continuous, complete band.
Open: Provides an open curve for the ring's creation. This option allows the user to set the degree of opening, offering more control over the design of the ring.
Bypass: This style of ring features two bands that gracefully curve around each other, giving the appearance of overlapping or interwoven strands.
Opening: Controls the size of the opening in the shank configuration when the "Open" option is selected.
Angle: Allows the user to set the rotation angle of the curves. This parameter can be used to create rings with varied twists and orientations.
Offset X/Y: Controls the offset distance between the curves in both the X and Y axes, providing precise control over the alignment and spacing of the ring's components.
Shape: Provides an advanced curve creation system to define the shape of the ring. The following parameters allow customization:
Opening: Adjusts the size of the opening in the shank, similar to the "Open" shank configuration.
Shape: Defines the general shape of the top portion of the shank, offering either a round or oval form.
Diameter: Modifies the diameter of the upper curve, determining the overall size of the top portion of the ring.
Offset: Changes the offset of the central curve, allowing for further control of the curvature's position relative to the center.
Move in Z: Enables movement of the upper curve along the Z-axis, giving flexibility to the vertical positioning of the top part of the ring.
Start on Circle: Allows the user to select the starting point of the curve along a circular path.
End on Circle: Determines the endpoint of the curve on the circular path, providing control over the termination of the curve’s design.
