CadDan Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 So I do the whole inscribed in a circle and radius (27'-07/16") thing but the Heptagon refuses to show up in model space. Anything I could be doing wrong and how do I fix it to where it shows up? Quote
ReMark Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I'm running 2009 and just did the same exercise without a problem although I had to Zoom > Extents after creating the circle. I'm not sure what you are doing wrong but this simple exercise involves only the circle and polygon commands. There isn't too much that can go wrong given that you are keying in the radius (or diameter) of the circle and you can stretch the polygon to one of the quadrants of the circle to get it to be "inscribed within". Are units set to architectural? Quote
CadDan Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 The units are indeed set to architectural. When I type in extents it says unknown command. I just did the circle and it as well is not showing up. Quote
CadDan Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Just did it again. Had to do limits instead of extents for this comp due to AutoCAD 2007. Thanks ReMark for heading me in the right direction. Quote
ReMark Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 No prob CadDan. This must have been for your heptagon house right? Quote
CadDan Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Yes, it's for the heptagon house that I'm contemplating on doing. Though it seems as if any different style other than a square would be troublesome. Quote
CADMASTER1128 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Yes, it's for the heptagon house that I'm contemplating on doing. Though it seems as if any different style other than a square would be troublesome. I know that this is troublesome, I have thought about, as I have said before, but never been able to come up with a good design. Quote
ReMark Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 It's no more difficult than a circular house. I think the biggest obstacle is our innate desire to square everything off. In some situations you may have to do just that. It's time to think differently. Challenge yourself. Quote

I think it's not going to be challenging for me. it would however, be challenging to those who likes squares to wrap their mind around the concept. Quote
ReMark Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Wait until you start putting in those bathroom fixtures. Quote
