swept_handle

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common issue of build failures in 3D modeling due to the hand-coding of handles as sweeps, which can lead to misordered arguments, unexpected behaviors, and non-manifold geometries.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Handle Creation: Generates a smooth, watertight C-shaped handle by sweeping a tube along a quadratic-Bezier curve.
• Pre-Embedded Ends: Ensures the handle ends are pre-embedded into the body wall for a seamless union.
• Use Case: For designing cups, mugs, or baskets, where a handle with a specific profile and size is required without the need for manual modeling.

Quick Start

Use the swept_handle skill to create a handle for a cup with the following parameters: attach_point=(40, 0, 47.5), out_normal=(1, 0, 0), vertical_span_mm=55, projection_mm=35, section_diameter_mm=12.
