Curves Pattern

Objective: Arrange the curves into a pattern for the pendant design.

Step 1: Copy Command

Using the Copy command, copy the pair of 4.5 mm circles to the center of the viewport.

Make sure to have grid snap enabled

Step 2: Move Circles

Now move the circles -3.855 along the Y-axis. Use the gumball.

Step 3: PlaneHandle

By using Alt + PlaneHandle on the gumball to copy and arrange the circles.

Step 4: Create this pattern

Step 5: Distance

Ensure the outer curves overlap, and the distance between points is at least 1.5 millimeters for stability.

• Go to the Analyse tab and use the Distance command to measure the distance between the two intersection points, as shown in the image.

For the distance to be correct, it should measure at least 1.5mm to ensure the stability of the part.
