Tejpaul007 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 How can I make a 3D dynamic block, for example a fridge and being able to change the depth of the object etc once its a block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 In the 2006's help file it says that dynamic properties will not work for 3D objects. Not sure about the next versions. But you may try a walk around. If you draw say a cylinder and copy it in top of itself, just move the copy along of the axis and it will look like the cylinder changes the height.

riga Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 No 3D dynamic blocks in 2008 too as far as I know, or at least that's what I've heard. I've never tried when I had the chance to play with the new version of Autocad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardman Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 no 3d dynamic block in 2k8... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The dynamic block editor only works in 2D. You can only apply actions to objects that lie in the X,Y plane. In 2008, you have the ability to orbit around your 3D model while inside the editor, but you cannot rotate your UCS to apply actions on the Z axis. In fact, the UCS command cannot even be invoked inside the editor. We will have to wait and see what 2009 has to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riga Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 We will have to wait and see what 2009 has to offer. Rumors on the new version of autocad don't mention such an improuvement of dynamic blocks. It will be a strongly modified interface with some new features like a recorder (for macros I guess), a new 3D navigation tool, new dwfx format, some changes in layers manager and other few things. Rumors can be wrong, but that's what I've read around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Visibility states will work with 3D blocks and so will Rotate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gennaro Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 If you are drawing objects that need to be modified try using the 3Dface command. You can make a 3D dynamic block with all functions as in 2D. I made a 3D ladder and with the rungs as extruded circles and static shapes as extruded as well. The side bars are 3D faces and I was able to stretch the objects. The result is a full functioning Dynamic 3D block! Gennaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
