ReMark Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I am trying to extrude the red 3dpoly upwards 2 units and then slice after that surface I have no idea what this means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboCAD Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 2 units? That is a large distance compared to the object shown which measures 0.3 units. I'm confused as to what you want for a final shape and where exactly you plan on slicing this object. I want the red plane shape at the bottom extruded to such a height that it completely covers the complex surface; then I want to slice the resulting solid along that complex surface , resulting two solids: one with the top side in the shape of the surface(positive) and one with the bottom side in the shape of the surface(negative) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Your complex shape seems to be missing a side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboCAD Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 I don't think it misses a side...I must add thickness to the surfaces that are perpendicular to the bottom red shape because they would not intersect the solid because they are parallel to its sides and, with no thickness they would not be carved out of the big solid as a result of the slicing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Turn the object using 3DORBIT and note that you can actually see inside the object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboCAD Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Turn the object using 3DORBIT and note that you can actually see inside the object. Yes,you are referring to the inside of the pyramid, a shape that looks like a linear horn tweeter(speaker) because it lacks the base of the pyramid that is correct I intended it to be this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Not the bottom dude, the side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Your shape as a solid. Top and bottom views. As you can see the bottom has been carved out (no longer flat). Now what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 So, turbocad, where do we stand with this little exercise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I never would have guessed given the explanation you gave previously. Why did you use a combination of surfaces and solids? So you are finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboCAD Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 well, the lateral surfaces will gain a width/thickness as they will need to show in the printed object. The smart thing, from me, would have been to create the thickness before slicing and extruding, maybe It would have gone better(the slicing). I have drawn the surface I wanted so I have finished with the subject of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
