Sophisto Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Hello gang, Quick question of which I think I already know the answer to: Is there a way to check clearances between 2 3D solids in Autocad? Thanks. Jason Quote
ReMark Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 You want to see if they collide? Try using the Interfere command. Quote
Sophisto Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 You want to see if they collide? Try using the Interfere command. No the objects im checking have to have a minimum clearance of 18 inches. the surfaces are not coplanar and are also at different elevations and angles so its not always east to see what edge of these objects are "closest" in relation to one another. hoping for a cmd that would find that point automatically and list the distance from one another.

ReMark Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Sorry...can't help you there. I use "cheaters" (i.e. - little line segments) attached to critical points and do a "list" on them. I'm sure there is a better way and someone will soon come by and educate us both. Quote
Sophisto Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 Hope so! anyone else know if this can be done? Quote
ReMark Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 It appears we have a lack of viable solutions at the moment. Let's get this thread back in the limelight and see if it attracts any attention. ***BUMP*** Quote
MSasu Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Try to perform some SECTIONs along those objects - this may help in some case; depends of their geometry. Regards, Quote
JD Mather Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I'm sure there is a better way and someone will soon come by and educate us both. Autodesk Inventor Minimum Distance. Might check free Inventor Fusion http://labs.autodesk.com and see if it has the tool as well. Quote
