Reuleaux Triangle

Postby DavidTeq » Tue Nov 26, 2013 7:50 pm

Can someone help me make a reuleaux triangle? To make one I need to be able to line up 3 circles on top of each other in very specific positions. Then I could use the combine shapes intersect tool to delete the extra pieces, but I don't know how to align shapes precisely. I'm attaching an image of how the circles need to be lined up. The reuleaux triangle is the blue shaded region in the middle.

Also if you're interested on why I'm trying to make them this youtube video explains them well.

3-axis, 3 circles, use "Combite shapes -> Intersect" to cut middle triangle.
