Jrose Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Can anyone help Please i have tried many ways to create this but my drawings doesnt come out like my 2d drawing. What is the easiest method I can use to make my 2D drawing of soap dispenser in 3D. I have attached the 2D Drawing Thank you friends. soap dispenser.dwg Quote
shift1313 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 What do you want to do with the model? meaning are you just looking for a solid representation of this thing for a scene or are you trying to create a thin surface with boss/mounting features? There are several ways to attack this. The easiest method for a simple solid representation would be to draw your base(top down view) and extrude the main body. Then use a series of subtractons. Another method would be using lofts. Quote
Jrose Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Shift1313, Yes just a solid representation for a sink unit that i created already. I you can show me step by step i would appreciate it. Thank you JR Quote
ReMark Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Had you three views (top, front and side) you could Extrude all three views through each other then use the Interfere command to obtain the resultant object. I saw this technique demonstrated using an electric guitar as the subject. Maybe it was 100% accurate down to the smallest detail but it did capture enough of the construction to make it distinguishable as a guitar. Quote
Jrose Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Remark, I have tried extruding them but when i come to make them one it wont let me. I trie union, interfere, subtract, and intersect. I dont know what else to do. If you can help i would appreciate it. Thank you JR Quote
ReMark Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Jrose: What software did you use to create this drawing? Quote
ReMark Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Jeez, this drawing has some problems. I just tried an extrude on the side view geometry for the top and got many modeling errors of the sweep self intersects variety. Not good. A closeup look at some of the geometry is scary man. How did you construct this? Quote
Jrose Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Remark, This drawing was sent to me by the manufacturer. I didn't create this drawing. I was having the same trouble. Quote
ReMark Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I see. Well whoever did it ought to take up a different career. Quote
Jrose Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 ReMark, My point exactly. Can you give me some guidance on this. Thank you, JR Quote
ReMark Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Some parts of the drawing can be extruded based upon the available information. Some parts of the drawing really need to be redrawn. They suffer from bad geometry. It would be helpful to have a front view of the dispenser. Quote
