A metal gate |
2016-02-06 |
|
From Carl:
I am a welder and I build gates. I have to put holes in a rail and then bend the rail
in a curve. The problem is that the holes in the curved rail must line up with holes
in the other straight rails. How do I calculate where to put the holes in the rail
before I bend it? I will send a drawing if necessary.

I have to design a lettering on corrugated plate |
2006-11-29 |
|
From Tim:
For a client of mine I have to design a lettering on corrugated plate. The lettering has to appear "normal" when viewed from the front (100%) I am so far now to consider the shape of the plate to be two halves of an oval/ellipse. What I would like to know is a way to calculate the percentage in which I have to "stretch" my design in order to let it appear "normal".
