ringSector

The ringsector macro drafts a ring sector, which is like a part of a donut with an inside and outside radius. It is particularly useful for drafting curved waistbands, circle skirts, and so on.

It is provided by the ringsector plugin.

note

Not a core-plugins macro

The ringsector macro is not provided by the core-plugins, so you need to load the ringsector plugin explicitly if you want to use it.

Signature

macro('ringsector', {
  String id='ringsector',
  Point center = new Point(0,0),
  Number angle,
  Number insideRadius,
  Number outsideRadius,
  Boolean rotate = false,
})

Code

({ Point, macro, Path, paths, part }) => {

  macro('ringsector', {
    angle: 60,
    insideRadius: 30,
    outsideRadius: 45,
  })

  return part
}

Configuration

Property	Default	Type	Description
id	ringsector	String	The id to use in auto-generate macro points and paths
center	new Point(0,0)	Point	The center point of the ring sector
angle		Number	The angle the ring sector should cover
insideRadius		Number	The inside radius of the ring sector
outsideRadius		Number	The outside radius of the ring sector
rotate	false	Boolean	Whether or not to rotate the ringsector so one of its sides is vertical (see example below)

Notes

The ringsector macro creates a path that can be used as a seam path for a part. If doing so, the left side of the path assumes a cutOnFold, as the sa is not offset here like it is along the rest of the path.
