bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I've got a pretty simple path for the extrude tool to follow, yet it wants to angle my base shoe at a certain point. See screenshot. Also, how can I upload a SKP file so ya'll can take a look at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Some of us don't SKP; we DWG. What is that object anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 It's a base shoe, ReMark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Any chance getting that in a DWG format for those of us working with stoneage software? LOL Can you use two guidelines in SketchUp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 ReMark, You should totally SKP. You could DWG or DXF first but it's cool to just SKP if you want. All the cool kids are doing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Sorry, ReMark. I've got the DWG file of the baseshoe itself but I have LT over here. I have to use third-party software to get my nifty 3D drawings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 More info: The first line is at an angle of 10 deg. that's 60 in. long - then it levels out for 54 in. - then it turns at a 90 deg. for 52 in. - then it turns again at 90 deg. with another angle of 10 deg. for 150 in. - one more turn at 90 deg. for 24 in. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 So you could provide the profile but not the path right? Oops...while I was typing you were posting. Nevermind. I used to SKP but my big feet kept getting all tangled up. I have a CD that skips though. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 So you could provide the profile but not the path right? Correct, Sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. So the problem occurs where a level run turns 90 degrees then takes off at an angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yes? It also seems that I didn't read my customer's crude drawings correctly. ReMark, it only happens at compound miters. See screenshots: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Then you have solved the problem by reason of your mental prowess? BTW...Can you substitute a pic of your newborn for your avatar? The one you have now gives me the shivers. It's like a rerun of a bad science fiction movie. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Problem not solved, ReMark. SketchUp is not digging the compound miter at the end there. My avatar is the shizzle, ReMark. I created that myself with a photo of my face superimposed on my tongue. It's my homage to Kung-Pow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 You should have stuck with the Kung Pao Shrimp. So where's that profile you promised us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 How about extruding the profile for each leg of the run and clean up the corners as required? Yeah, I know, too much work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Oh, I didn't think you needed it. My apologies. Panel Grip Base Shoe 27SEP10.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 How about extruding the profile for each leg of the run and clean up the corners as required? Yeah, I know, too much work. Tried that, they didn't come out level. With the new extrusion path there's only one compound miter now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Wouldn't they come out level if each profile were inserted perpendicular to the leg they were being extruded on? What new extrusion path? Did you already change what you posted previously? Stop messin' with my mind dude. I have washing machines, microwave ovens and toasters to think about. Machines rule and man drools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbankston Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 New extrusion see thread 11 And no, they would be perpendicular per se but, one path is at a 10 deg. angle while the other is at a 0 deg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I was refering to the written dimensions and angles you gave previously not to any image. Well we both know it can be built correctly so why does it go wacky in SketchUp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
