Compartments 2. Using the points indicated, the middle half of the holder is identified and created for a middle compartment. 2 vertical compartments can also be created by adjusting the Index under List Items.
<- 1 vertical compartment 2 vertical compartments
Compartments 3. Function similarly to the vertical compartment, however the points are allocated via Points on Curve function from the vertical curve. The horizontal point is also identified via Shatter function of the circle curve. Applies the same to other horizontal compartments.
Body of Container 4. To make the groove snap of the holder, Solid Difference is used between a piped circle and the body of the container Green is original piped circle, surrounding the opening of the container.
The top edge of the container is filleted before combining with the extruded compartments to make a closed solid.
Holder Lid 5. A simple lid is offset from the container's curve and Boolean Union with the grooves, making a snap for closure with the container's body. Wave Sweep Creation
The surface of the lid is then used for wave surfacing creation. Non-uniform ( tight in the center, spreading further on the outer edges.)
Wave Creation 6. Repeating waves are created, with the distance controlled via the Graph Mapper. This allows both uniform and non-uniform waves to be created.
Can be adjusted from inner circle to outer circle and vice versa.
Wave Sweep Creation
Uniform distance.
Wave Loft
Wave Sweep Creation
6. A intersecting line is created throughout the wave curves and divided to create multiple points. Curved height (curved waves) are created through the average of the points -> direct method from division. To prepare for Sweep2, a curve has to be generated from the points.
Edge Fillet 7. The top edge of the lid is identified and fillet, similarly to the container's body filleted edge.
