Re: Custom Model Editing Using Walls & Floors Using walls to create a room with curves is a much used method to create model parts. Draw the walls and make sure it is an enclosed area. You can use as many curves as you want. Select the room tool and click inside the walls. It will create the room with all the curves of the walls. You can also click ON a wall. This will create the same room but now extended to the outside circumference of the walls. • Make sure the elevation of the level is >0 otherwise you will get an object after export/import with a height 0 that you can't increase. The exported room will have a height of the floor thickness. • Make sure you uncheck the display of the ceiling before you export and import the room. • You can use a staircase to create a hole in the floor. Place it on a level below the room you create and if necessary elevate it so it creates the hole. Only select the room for export but it will retain the hole. The DodecagonShapes library has a cylinder as a staircase that cuts a round hole. • Walls are often used to create curved model parts too. If you have a level below where you have the walls than the exported walls will be its height+the floor thickness. Keep that in mind and reduce the wall height if necessary. • You can use windows to cut holes in a wall and export only the wall to use as a model part. You can see how this works on the Letters&Numbers page on Dodecagon.nl. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
