Description: MCG Arches 3D
REQUIREMENTS: Max 2016 + SP3 + Extension1/2, Max 2017
(Max 2016 MUST have Extension 1 or 2 to use)
Installation: Scripting, Install Max Creation Graph…
Creates various types of arches: Circular, Lancet, Trefoil, Ogee, Reverse Ogee, Inflexed & Horseshoe. Please note that I didn’t follow any ancient building codec strictly to the letter…only that the curves are derived from perfect circular segments. Using the Curvature adjustment, you could get other arch types like Parabolic, Elliptical …etc…
This creates splines, then you can Extrude & Quadrify into a Mesh…or you can also Quadrify then Shell…this should be done if you use the 2 Doors option as Extrude will not work properly with the ‘doors’ opening/closing.
Ver 1.01: can now invert the Arch geometry to get ‘doors’ or tombstones…
Ver 1.02: Finally, Segmental arch is available. Please note, as Segmental arch is always a segment from a perfect circle, the Curvature adjustments will have no effect on this. Also, although I didn’t show it in the latest video, as you change the Clear Span, the Segmental arch will auto adjust as illustrated by the 3 different tombstones picture…ie…they’re all different widths but the Segmental Radius remains unchanged, it auto adjusts itself up/down.
Ver 1.03: Added Cauliflower pattern (semi circle for each segment). This can be applied on top of the primary arch type, except Trefoil (and other combinations) due to overlap. Also added Vertical Offset for Horseshoe.
Ver 1.04: Added Multi Spans funtionality
Ver 1.05: HUGE update…
Arch Tweaks so you can adjust the Width, Height & Vertical Offset of the Primary Arch
Arch Apex Tweaks allows you to create pointed shape from other shapes…eg. even from an ordinary semi-circle…so now you can have pointed Horseshoe for example.
Cauliflower Tweaks so you can manipulate the mini-arch similar to a primary Arch.
Default creation scale to ‘tens’ instead of ‘hundreds’ to suit people using meters instead of cms.
Note: when using Cauliflower, avoid tight overlaps like Trefoil. Also when Chamfering the Cauliflower & if you use Flip, ensure you have ‘some’ Falloff…otherwise, you’ll see huge geometry..until you enter some value in Falloff.
Added a Units version for people with System Unit = m & Display Unit = cm (see latest pic). Please redownload zip file 1.05 as it now contains both Generic & Units versions.
