Problem creating reliefs

[brian]

I'm trying to get a curve or arc on a pair of table legs.What you see is one side of the table legs.Leg thickness is 1.7"
I would like to start with the bottom right profile(purple) and have the outside to fade to no curve at all to match the top profile(blue).
The red profile was an alternative so ignore it.

try using the purple profile along the edge with a 2 rail sweep? Depending on the pgm you use i'm not sure how you would define your left/right edges, maybe devide the model at the center?

I've divided it into two toolpaths.The problem I've been having is getting the profile to fade to nothing towards the top.I'll keep trying today.

Thanks Brian

Yes Bob thats what I'm trying to do
Could you give me a run down on how you did it

Thanks Brian

Brian; one way to do this is , bring your outline vector into model , on left side cut vector both top and bottom , copy & paste this vector , move to right .75" , make your profile vectors to shape and size ,, use 2 rail sweep select the 2 rails & then select and position the profile vectors where you want them. The Artcam user guide has Tutorials in back on things like this
