thy Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi guys, would like a help, of course if I'm here! This is an oven design in 3D. But I would do it brick by brick, if feasible. Below the picture. Some considerations: I tried to do using Autocad 2012 using the Polar Array new feature, but I can not close the oven on top. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this doubt! http://salveoplaneta.zip.net/images/Imagem107.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nestly Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The idea of using AutoCAD to design mud hut strikes me as funny, but after I finished laughing, the process of doing that type of design is sort of intriguing. Perhaps draw the profile of the oven, then use MEASURE to establish the elevation of each course of bricks. Now that you know the diameter of each course, you could manually place one brick on each course and polar array them. It's going to take some manual work, and not being a mason, I'm not exactly sure how to finish the top, but that's the first idea that popped into my head.

ReMark Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Doing it brick-by-brick seems pointless. That's why AutoDesk utilizes "materials". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Maybe you should consider drawing a 3D gas or electric oven. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 An igloo uses blocks while the oven the OP provided the image of uses bricks. I think he will find it tough going. But speaking of bricks, during a major reconstruction of our city's Main Street workmen unearthed a 100" double-brick wall sanitary sewer dating back to the late 1800's. How's that for old world craftsmanship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Again, I'm not a mason and I'm sure this wouldn't do as shown in the video, but the bricks could be 3D blocks which could be positioned along the profile with MEASURE, and then ARRAYed from the top. http://screencast.com/t/5EVms0lf2Ziq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in return becomes a challenge, as you said! The profile was drawn from the oven, that is, the base is circular and the walls are ellipses or arcs. What is harder to do are elevations. I figured that in AutoCad 2012 with the feature could facilitate Polar Array. Facilitated, but was not as I imagined. So, I decided to post in the forum for some kind soul could help! It was great because I found LOL, thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thy Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Doing it brick-by-brick seems pointless. That's why AutoDesk utilizes "materials". I'll think about it, the disadvantage I see is fact not count the bricks, after the end of construction ... Thanks for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEASURE I tried the command but not worked very well! I made the block with brick and using the MEASURE command was not aligned. So, I used the command "PATH ARRAY"to distribute the bricks in the Z axis. As the image below: Note that from the top of the bricks did not shut down and the addition of bricks in the command "POLAR ARRAY" causes the computer is very slow ... I say, undermines the work and editing. Another failed attempt to make the oven ... Thanks to all who provide the time to help me! Other suggestions are most welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thy Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Ok, if I do not brick by brick ... I see that the job will really arduous ... But it would be the most interesting to do. What are my alternatives. And so I apply this material object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
