how can I simulate something like a breaking surface for a solid?

Hi mates,

I drawn a cylinder and I need to simulate a breaking surface in it.

I mean, this cylinder should represent a very long column and so I need to give it an ideal cut.

How to do? I hope I have state my question enough clear.

Bye,

Stefano.

This is for showing a pipe broken, for a solid cylinder omit the center ellipse.

thanks rkent for your reply!

what do you mean for:

...for a solid cylinder omit the center ellipse...

thanks rkent for your reply!

what do you mean for:

Hi see know...

but later I have to revolve the cylinder to create the solid or what else?

I was wondering if you could sent me the dwg file where you drawn that?

Thanks:)

I can't upload the file right now, simply use the ellipse command to draw that symbol.

yes I did it but I'm still in trouble on how to generate the 3D form that section

I think someone already wrote a lisp routine for that effect and posted it here at CADTutor. A search should turn it up.

hi ReMark and thanks for your reply!

I'll try to spot over the forum...which key word do you suggest?

I haven't the foggiest idea at the moment. I'll try jogging the few remaining working brain cells I have left to see if I can come up with a suitable answer. Maybe Lee Mac or alanjt might remember.

thanks a lot for your help! I really appreciate that!

I just lucked out.

I searched on the words "solid pipe end" and I think I found what I was looking for. I only checked the first page of this multi-page thread but I do believe it has what you are looking for. I suggest you review the entire thread and not stop prematurely.

One more time you get me in right way!

Thank you so much ReMark!

I'll post you what I did with your great help!

P.S.

BTW it's suppose to be a column of a church

I like what you did with the four "keys" (one at each quadrant; nice detail) but the stepped base doesn't do it for me. Is this for an existing church?

Is this for an existing church?

yes it is

...stepped base doesn't do it for me...

It's only a roughly idea...may be it will be re invented

Thank you very much indeed for your help:)

If it weren't for people changing their minds I'd be out of a job! LOL

I didn't provide much in the way of help; just pointed you in the right direction.

You're entirely welcomed. Good luck on your design.
