JamFam Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Greetings everyone. I am using AutoCAD 2010 3D and though I am reasonably comfortable with 2D, the 3D stuff is hurting this wee brain of mine. Here is my objective. I have drawn a 3D image of a piece of wood in the 3D model space. I want to profile the edges of the wood with a router design, in this case a Roman Ogee, (see drawing). I have drawn the Roman Ogee in 2D, copied and pasted it into 3D then extruded it. I moved the Roman Ogee router profile into the area at the edge of the board I want the profile to be but I just can't figure out how to get the router profile to run along all 4 edges of the board to look like the image above. Can anyone help with a step by step procedure? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You could also create your profile and extrude or sweep it along a path that represents the perimeter of your box. This will produce a frame using your profile but the center will be an empty rectangular box. Fill this in with a 3D rectangle then union the two objects.

woodworks Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I do something similar when creating cabinet doors. Sweep the profiles and subtract them from the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
