Thanks for volunteering! let me think about the best way of hosting these files. For now, you could throw it into this new CAD library thread. It would be really cool to have 2D drawings for the parts as well. A lot of drawings are incomplete, inaccurate, or don’t even exist. I’ve bought so many stays just to measure them, only to find they don’t fit my application! I’m sure that happens to others as well.
When I CAD tapered stuff, it’s just a loft instead of a sweep. However, I rarely CAD tapered tubes because the loft tool will not show bend locations on the 2D CAD: see below
My 3D workflow is “production CAD” and revolves around creating robust and accurate 2D CAD quickly. I omit tapered seat stays to make the drawings more clear. However, with custom frame building, I could see the tapered stays, tube butts, etc… would be very useful. Just drag, drop, and join it to a centerline sketch!
