EXTRUDING/MOVING MULPIPLE FACES FROM DIFFERENT OBJECTS

[8]

ok i just received an awesome help from fucarro regarding the solidedit command on my "extending or stretching in 3D" post ... i wanted to ask this question on the same post but i thought it's a good idea to separate it as a different topic!

* now just like in the 'express tools' we have the 'multiple strectch' command that can stretch various endpoints of an object(s) ... is this possible in 3D modelling too?!

~ one situation is that when you're tyin' to extend the width of a wall with the window on top of it at the same time!

thanks in advance!!!

Yes, it is possible. Just select more faces.
You are welcome to ask questions in this Forum; we are here to help each other. But in your place I would play around with the unknown commands first.

I presume you are adept at the boolean commands, UNION, subtract etc. I would use these before solidedit.

Align 3D is cool and is called MATES and constraints in Inventor but they are a 1000 times better and easier, with visual previews.

thanks for the help again guys ...

~ Mr. T - thanks for your carefully thought suggestion, yes am quite familiar with those already and found a way of resolving my question with your reply ... by using UNION then SLICING the objects again after doing SOLIDEDIT to move the face i want to apply the changes ...

~ Fucarro sir thanx again for the warm welcome & help ... you said it is possible to move faces from different objects ... am sorry maybe am missin' somethin' again here ... i did try to select the parallel faces of 2 various solids (not just one solid and selecting different faces of it but 2 objects with the parallel!) ... hope this help explain more!

at the moment am gaining more speed with the presentation am workin' on!

thanks again!

Sorry, I misunderstud your question.
You can move or extrude more faces of the same solid at a time.

Excuse me Fuccaro, but I'm using AutoCAD 2000 and was wondering if there is any way to extrude faces on mutiple objects at the same time?

[fuccaro]

If the solids doesn't touch each other: union them together, use the SOLIDEDIT command to extrude the desired faces and while still in the command- choose the Body > Separate options. This will separate again the solids.
