ASchroederIV Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Here is my problem. I work for a railing company, and I'm trying to draw up a Fancy spiral Staircase ( I'd show you an example but they wont let me link it because I'm still new.) Is it possible to draw the gut section of the railing on a flat plane, and then have it curved along an arc or the radius of the stairs? I'm not sure how I can accomplish this and would greatly appreciate help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petteri Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hello, I would be interested too about folding option of autocad in 3d mode, example if you draw housewall every 4 walls to one continuous part, so how can i fold it to 4 wall square in 3d *little explanation why this needs to done ( making industry drawings so one wall needs to be bit longer and go little bit top of otherside wall, so i can spotweld them to onepiece ) English not so good and hard to explain but hopefully you guys get it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 You need an add-on program or Inventor. Plain AutoCAD does not include options to fold/unfold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thank you, that was quick answer You're welcomed. Here is a link to an add-on program to AutoCAD if you are dealing with sheet metal. I don't use it so I cannot really tell you how good the program might be or how it functions. http://www.litio3d.com.ar/newv2-0.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
