joemaddigotz Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This seems like a fairly simple thing. If you already have the solid blocks its just a matter of creating your id rectangle, extrude it through the solid where it needs to be and use the boolean operation SUBTRACT. Your holes will still be there and you will be done:) Shift, You must be the God of AutoCAD - I will do as you say and try this, however it is the things like "Subtract" that I have never done before...or "Boolean" I will learn right now and get back to you! What does it mean by "id rectangle" or "boolean operation" ..and even if I was to re-create all of these bars again from the beginning - would that be something easier to learn as opposed to making the edit this way?

joemaddigotz Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Oh wow... it works.. I don't understand sometimes I have to do things twice but it works!!!! Alright here is what I noticed when I try to do this. Once I select SUBTRACT and choose my solid object - It says that 1 Object is found however once I press enter It says No Solids or Regions selected. Why is that? OKAY it appears whatever I made before was a Polymesh or at least whatever I drew was not a solid. Either way I am re-doing this entire drawing the right way so I can use what learned from you today Shift, Thank you sir - Thank you!
