HoneyBadger Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I am working on an irregular oblique pyramid. I started with the basic shape and extruded the separate planes. Usually I would use a subtract command but that does not seem to work in this case. I am trying to do a trim-like operation with 3d objects. Is there another command for this? In addition, I am sure there is a more effective way to do this but I feel this method would give me better lines for a wood cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 3D models can be "trimmed" using the SLICE command assuming it is appropriate in this case. But we won't know until you attach a copy of the drawing to your next post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 If your problem is actually modeling the irregular oblique pyramid you can use the pyramid command, then hold Ctrl down and pick on the apex, pick the round grip and stretch to where you want it.

HoneyBadger Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 The SLICE command worked! I had tried it previously but missed a very small missed intersection. Now that it is rectified all is well. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 A copy of the drawing would have been nice. Only 100 times easier JD? You're slippin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
