Objective: Learn to create an oval cabochon gemstone and position it precisely in the center of the shank.
Create Alignment Line:
- Go to the Curve tab (1) and create a line (2) that runs across the top of the ring. This will help with positioning.
- Activate Osnap and select options to align it accurately.
- Create the line.
Create the Cabochon:
Go to the Diamonds tab (1) and select Cabochon (2).
- Set the Mode to Oval.
- Set X to 8 mm, Y to 10 mm, Z to 3 mm.
- Set the Girdle Angle to 0.
Position the Cabochon:
- Use the line created earlier to find the midpoint and place the cabochon in the center of the shank.
Video Lesson: In this video, we’ll use the Cabochon command to create a custom-sized cabochon and align it with the shank, ensuring it fits perfectly.
Next Step: With the cabochon positioned, we’ll proceed to fine-tune the fit by offsetting the surface in the next lesson.
