Segment PRO

Profile Builder

The Profile Builder allows you to create a simple or complex wall profile simply by adding points with mouse clicks. Or you can open one of nearly 200 sample files in various categories.

Cutaway View

Bezier curves representing the inside and outside wall profiles are created automatically. The bowl is built automatically based on those curves.

Tornado Bowl

A Tornado Bowl is designed using from two to eight tornado bands. You can paint each segment of a tornado band with whichever species you choose.

Feature Ring Bowl

A Feature Ring Bowl is built with three feature groups. The top, bottom and main feature group can be completely customized. The main feature group is automatically centered at the widest point of the bowl but can be repositioned as desired.

Painted Segment Bowl

The Painted Segment Bowl allows you to paint each segment with whatever species you choose. A design such as this one can be painted in as little as 60 seconds.

Paint Grid

The Paint Grid is automatically drawn with the number of rows and segments as are present in the current bowl. You select the number of repeats per row, select a species and click once. You can select a Diamond Pattern as a stamp pad which will paint a diamond any size and repeated the number of times you select, all with a single click.

Species Paint Palettes

By selecting a Species Paint Palette, your bowl will be painted with the species in that palette. Switching paint palettes immediately repaints the entire bowl. You can create and modify as many paint palettes as you like.

Summary

The Summary printout gives you instructions for cutting segments for each row of the bowl. You can optionally choose to optimize the summary by board width and by segment edge length. You can then group the printout by these parameters. You can reposition rows, sort rows up or down or sort by any column
