Model a 3D Barn Star in Vectric Aspire

In this video, I’ll show you how I modeled a 5 pointed star in Vectric Aspire software. I’ll show you how I created the star vector, then demonstrate the fight I had to get the sharp, angular shape I wanted, using the Create a Shape tool. Then I’ll demonstrate creating the same star using a Two-Rail Sweep. We’ll create the drive rail vectors, and create the vector cross section for sweeping.
Then I’ll calculate the toolpaths and preview them to demonstrate the completed model.
As usual, if you have any comments or questions, please put ‘em in the comment section below.
On Sunday, April 5th, I’ll be hosting a LIVE Q&A session, where you can ask your questions pertaining to anything I covered in this video. That Q&A starts at 3 pm Eastern time, Noon Pacific time. Hope to see you there!
Here’s a link to the Live Q&A:
Thanks for watching!
I’m sorry, but the model used to demonstrate in this video is not available.

@@MarkLindsayCNC Thanks for watching. I hope you are finding them useful. By the way, I was able to model a stare like this in vcarve pro by creating it in SketchUp then importing the .skp file into vcarve. I think that I will have to try to make one in ecabinets as well

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 жыл бұрын

Perfect solution! I haven't used SketchUp in so long, I'd need to get back into it and teach myself how to make a star. Unless, of course you make a video on it - in which case I'd happily share it. (Not so subtle hint...)

Another great video even though I don't yet Have Aspire. Almost makes me want to "pull the trigger" to upgrade from VCarve Pro, but that steep price difference is hard for me to justify as a hobbyist.

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Bob. I struggled with that same decision for 5 years. I finally pulled the trigger last year and never looked back. If you don't plan on doing a lot of 3D modeling, there may not be enough justification for upgrading. I'd say 60% of the folks who have VCarve would never use the 3D modeling capabilities in Aspire, so it would be an unnecessary expense. If you make a few models and price your work right, however, you can easily get it to pay for itself in a short amount of time.

Great video Mark. I always think of you as an "Aspire(ing) star". :-) Hope you'll post a pic of the star when you cut it or better yet a video would be awesome. Well done!

Thank you very much, Dave! I have a feeling I'll be cutting a lot more than 1 since the wife saw it...

Thanks for another great video. I was looking for a method to do just what you taught in this vid.. I will save the pattern to use in other designs. P. S. I use 38.2 degrees for the 2d Star.

Hey Mark - this was very helpful. However, I discovered an issue. Unless you move the inner star down before creating the 3D star, the "peak" of your 3D star will not be in the right place. If you rotate the 3D star you can see it looks weird. To solve this, I created a circle of same diameter of larger star, placed it so that tips of star are just touching the circle, found it's center and then placed smaller star at same center coordinates. Now the peak will be properly placed when the 3D version is created.

Just to let you know, Version 11.5 has made this video virtually obsolete. You can now create the angled shape, then put a check in the box next to Preserve Inside Corners, and the resulting shapes will be perfect.

That was very nice . So how do we make a star like that using Pro 10. Say with bring in a model of a 5 point star and do the setting to suite your needs? Jeff

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 жыл бұрын

As I said in the video, Jeff, the modeling tools needed to make this star aren't available in VCarve Pro. About the best you can do is find a model online and import it.

Awesome video , Mark....again. I am amazed at how you do some of the stuff you do, the sweep was an ingenious solution to your puffy star problem. :) BUT, my question, for the profile for that how did you determine 2.8 for the one side of the profile, especially with , I would think , the distance between the vectors changing as it approaches the points. Thx.

@MarkLindsayCNC 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much! The 2.8 inch wide rectangle measurement for the profile was not the important dimension - the height was. The material in this demonstration was 1.5 inches thick, so I needed the model to be slightly less than that. That gave me the 1.4 inch height of the rectangle. To create the rectangle, I just used a 2:1 ratio by doubling the height (1.4 x 2 = 2.8) and that gave me the width of the rectangle. The software knows to scale the profile as the distance between vectors changes, and that creates the downward slope of each arm of the star. Selecting Sweep Between Spans in the 2-Rail Sweep form keeps that scaling consistent, which gives me the sharp angle running down the center of each arm. I hope that helps!
