sarah Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi All, I currently use autocad lt 2008 with toolbox lt add on which enables 3d functions. At the moment i'm trying to create a timber hexagonal deck which has deck boards on the top. For ease of understanding (for my workshop team) i'm using HIDE function to show the boys visually what i mean, they don't want to bother with viewing every line ever created. I have used the 3d face command on all the regular shaped deckboards. However i cannot get a face onto the 'cut-out' deck boards. About a week ago i had the same issue and i was advised to make a copy of the objects with thickness and create a region. This was perfect and worked brilliantly, when i came to use this method again.... as you can see it worked for one of the boards only and for some reason it won't create a region for the other two. do you think anyone could help me out? thankyou in advance 3d hex deck.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bethel Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think that would be a toolbox issue, 'cause of LTs lack off 3D stuff. That is quite an under taking using LT alone. Lot of snapping to end points. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 i'm sure it is a toolbox issue, what i can't quite understand is why the region command has worked up until now but suddenly for these two objects it is not creating a region. lots of snapping to end points yes.......but hey you gotta do what you gotta do. If i had full autocad then it would be a whole lot easier. I can with a bit of time and effort normally create what i need to using the long way aound (or completely unconventional way)!
