Viu Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have this in model form: And I'm trying to get this from it: For some reason I can't upload my IGS file here but you can get a version of it from http://www.cncguns.com/downloads.html under AR15 lower receiver.

Lazer Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 If it is not a native Inventor 3d model then you cannot stretch the Iges file in Inventor however Inventor Fusion (free to download google it) can do what you want. Inventor Fusion is Direct modeller built from the ground up to manipulate geometry. I notice you are running Inventor 2013 so you should also have Fusion.

Lazer Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Not sure why it will not upload, roll the end marker to the top of the feature tree and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If it is not a native Inventor 3d model then you cannot stretch the Iges file in Inventor ... Been able to "stretch" an imported model in Inventor for as long as I can remember. Right click on the Base solid and select Edit Solid.

Viu Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Not sure why it will not upload, roll the end marker to the top of the feature tree and try again. I see the problem now, my file is just over 2 mb, upload limit is 500kb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viu Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Well I've been messing around with this file for about a week and I still can't get what I desire out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Dude, this isn't the way to get what you want anyway. Stretching an AR-15 lower does not really make it into an AR-10. Just get the right dimensions for an AR-10 magazine well and model it. There's plenty of blueprints online, and you'll learn a lot more about how to use Inventor if you just model the thing from scratch. That's how I started learning how to use Inventor - I got the blueprints for a Sten and worked through those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
