il0veaut0cad Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hello there. I just want to ask if someone can teach me how to use the slice command. I'm really not that familiar with 3d. I've done a few but when it comes to roof, I always got stuck into that part. In fact I only heard about the command "Slice" here in Cad tutor. I'm practicing 3d with a house. I'm now on the roof part. And I wanna have this on solid. Coz I made this only by 3dface. Here is the layout of the roof. Thank you in advance!

JD Mather Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 There are a bunch of examples using Slice in my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I don't think you can use the Slice command if you made your roof completely out of 3DFaces. I think you would be better off using Solids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il0veaut0cad Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) I don't think you can use the Slice command if you made your roof completely out of 3DFaces. I think you would be better off using Solids. I tried doing it out from solids and did the slice command. However, Whenever I input the points, I get a different result. I made a solid rectangle. I sliced it by default (3 points). Edited May 2, 2011 by il0veaut0cad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Actually I meant that you should create your roof, as per its original shape, then do your slicing. I did not say to make a solid rectangle and use the Slice command to shape it. The roof shown below was created using four 3Dpolylines, based upon your original geometry, that I lofted thus resulting in a solid.
