rope pattern following a radius

[bobalou]

I'm carving a board with a radius on each end and have a rope pattern that I need to put on edge of the board. Need help placing the rope on radius edge. Help.

[CarverJerry]

post your pattern and lets take a look.

Will this one work?

Here is a picture of board ,would like to put a radius on ends and have rope edge follow radius.

It appears that you are using a purchased pattern for the rope and as far as I know you can't modify purchased patterns. I don't believe that there is anyway to "bend" patterns so in order to put a rope radius on your project you will have to develop the rope yourself. Probably with some kind of 3D modeling software and then import it into designer. Trick is going to be keeping proportions the same.

Here is a link to a tutorial on how to develop a rope border with Photoshop:

That being said; hopefully one of the resident experts will chime in with a better solution for you.

I'll check that out and thanks for the reply. Anyone else have an idea please do so thanks, Bobalou

The pattern is a purchased one from CW. Still looking.

In order to create the proper proportion, we need the desired radius and the desired rope width. This way a ratio of the rope width/radius can be calculated. Creating the 3D model using this ratio will allow for resizing while keeping the same ratio.

Here something that could work for you..

Here is a nice little program to help aid in making chains and ropes for the Carvewright.
