JStenoien Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm using AutoCAD 2008 Education Version and I'm trying to model a santuko. I have the tang and blade portions made but when I try to add them it looks like it's working and then...nothing. No errors it just decides it doesn't want to do it any suggestions? I had to upload the file to Mediafire because it was too big to attach. Take out the space, thanks mediafire .com/?sharekey=d8943b58ca31df11d2db6fb9a8902bda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 im not sure what a santuko is but are both objects solids? when you made the blade was it a surface model? If so you will probably have to convert from surface to solid in order for the boolean operations to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStenoien Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 A santuko is a type of kitchen knife, and they are both solids. I used intersect to make the blade portion and that's the same type of operation, so you can see my confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 The problem is occurring where the blade and the handle meet at the top. There is a step that slowly ramps up, from the bottom of the handle to the top, to a point where the blade meets the handle flush. Autocad doesn't like things like that. You can either have a step, or no step, but you can't Union two objects that ramp up together like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStenoien Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 hmmm...I need that step though, it's a part of the blade. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Why do you feel the need to Union them? Just leave them as two separate objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStenoien Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 I guess I can do that just seems like there should be a way to do it. I had no idea it'd turn into such a fiasco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 In other programs it is possible, just not in Autocad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
