Funky26 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hello I'm Jamie and yes you guessed it a newbie to the forum. I've been teaching myself Autodesk Inventor for a while now and still can't get my head round what or how I achieve a 4 sided framework assembly with the 5th frame on top, which will form a box with no base. My question would be, do I need to draw a skeleton frame for each frame member ie: Frame 1 then Frame 2 & so on? Also does this mean I would have 5 Assembly files then create the 6th Assembly to constrain them all together to form the box? I've tried to view all of the forum over that last couple of day to find this information. Please can someone help me with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 If I follow your (brief, with no pictures or url references) problem description - I would simply Extrude a rectangle as a Surface Body and use it as a Skeleton with Frame Generator. About 3-5 minutes of work total. One assembly file (or create sub-assemblies if you like, how will it be made in the real world?). What version of Inventor? Have you gone through the tutorials? Have any dimensions in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky26 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi JD thanks for getting back to me, sorry about the description ;-). I'm currently trying to use Inventor 2014 pro student version but I also have a running 2012 pro version on my laptop. I have tried the tutorials but they don't really work the way I'd like them too. I'm a draughtsman currently working with Autocad 2007 LT at work and am used to drawing all elevations in 2D. Old school tbh. I have placed a link from my dropbox account, this job isn't finished but you may get an idea of what I'm trying to achieve. The link is https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ypbej05a5mjc755/AADOJjO0oLdNMPRP4LJEDtUYa?dl=0. Please rip me to pieces if I have done this totally wrong. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't go to 3rd part drop box sites that install hidden stuff on my computer. Post here or to A360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 You had a drop-box like posted here - can't you share the project on A360 and post the link here? Or do you now want to keep this private? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky26 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hi JD, I don't know how to do it so I took some screen shots and PDF'd it. Sorry regards Jamie GEA Enclosure.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
