Objectives
• Constructing the Ionic volute• Creating the Ionic capital using the volute profile• Building the scrolls and completing the capital geometry
![Page 5: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Some assumptions and prerequisites• Create a new family from a pre-defined template.• overall settings and parameters including the category• Are familiar with various templates
• free-standing, hosted and face-based
• Reference planes• Can add and modify them
• Add dimensions • Set up simple labeled parameters• Importance of “flexing” often

Approach
• Basic Box • Sweeps and Swept Blends• Scale and Proportion• Base Diameter• Decimal Units• Level of Detail
![Page 7: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Coarse Scale
![Page 8: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Ionic Volute
• It’s that curly thing• 24 flexing arcs!• Many sources• Using a nested detail item family rig
![Page 9: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Nested Detail Item Rig
![Page 10: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Creating the Volute Profile
• Open the Starting file• Position the nested rig (already in the file)• Align and lock• Link up Base Diameter• Flex• Begin drawing arcs• Align and lock center and endpoints• Flex, Flex, Flex…
![Page 11: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reference Planes and EQ
• Instead of Trigonometry, we use Equality constraints• And nested Detail item rigs• Saves on formulas• Better performance

Second verse, same as the first
• Creating the inner edge of the fillet• New instance of the Detail rig• Repeat process of adding arcs• FLEX!
![Page 13: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Finish Volute Profiles
• Complete the profile by closing the shapes• Save• Save As to create a second (Simpler) one• Flex

Capital Family
• Reuses pieces from a Doric• Reconfigure moldings• Adjust voids• Flex
![Page 15: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Making the Sweeps
• Use a sweep so we can use the profile• Two sweeps back to back• Simple straight line paths
![Page 16: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Scrolls
• Sweep and Swept Blend• Profiles use Splines• Splines maintain proportions when scaling!• Flex
![Page 17: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Complete the Scrolls
![Page 18: Create a Parametric Ionic Column from Start to Finish](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814de3550346895dbb50ff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
One more sweep
• Use a spline path• Add parameters• FLEX!
