Translations:Scripted Parts: Ball Bearing - Part 2/5/en

Inserting the balls

The correct sketcher-based workflow of inserting the balls would be:

• Draw an arc (semi-circle) with center being identical with the origin and draw a line closing the "open" side of the arc
• Convert the two elements to a wire, upgrade to a face, revolve around z-axis to get a ball shape
• Use "translate" command to move the ball into correct position
• Repeat the above steps nine times involving math function to create and position the other balls
• This repeat-operation could be programmed with a loop

Now this is not effective, inserting primitives and positioning them is easier and faster in this case.
So we use the same method as in "Scripted Parts: Ball Bearing - Part 1".
