How to polar pattern a revolved surface?
Hi everyone,
I have some prior experience with Solidworks, but I wanted to try out a FOSS alternative. I've been messing around in FreeCAD for a couple hours and I have the following question:
How do I polar pattern a revolved surface?
I want to accomplish something similar to what is described in this video (12:14 to 13:44).
My ideal workflow is as follows:
- Create sketch (e.g. square)
- Pad sketch to create body (e.g. cube)
- Create new sketch (e.g. line)
- Revolve sketch to create surface (e.g. disc)
- Polar pattern the surface to create multiple (e.g. 4) discs
- Slice apart cube by 4 discs to yield 9 separate bodies
I'm stuck on step 5. Is this possible in FreeCAD? If not, are there any recommended workarounds to achieve the same result?
Thanks in advance!
