mikekmx Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) hi, i've been trying to fill in this shape for quite a while now but it's defeated me. it could be hollow but solid would be better i think. any ideas on a way to proceed please? edit: the yellow shape. sorry about the untidiness :-) Drawing1.dwg Edited March 11, 2013 by mikekmx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Here is your geometry as a 3D solid. Your drawing setup is rather....unusual to say the least. 3DObject.dwg Ratz! You're using 2008 and this file was saved in 2010 format. See my next post. $#!+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my next post. $#!+ :lol: Thanks ReMark i've had a quick look with DWGViewer....hoping i can slice it a bit to make it narrower. how did you do it? i keep going back to it and it's been doing my head in! i thought i'd cracked it 2 mins after posting it here but no such luck.

ReMark Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) If I told you how I did it then you'd know every one of my secret tricks. I'd have no choice but to terminate you at that point. Remember, I'm a cyborg assassin. You should be able to slice it no problem. How did I do it? Well it perplexed me for a few minutes until I explode it, flatten it then did a pedit > join. I least I think that's what I did. I failed to take notes. Sorry. Edited March 9, 2013 by ReMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekmx Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) ah, thanks. i couldn't get pedit to joing the lines and i couldn't explode the sline. perhaps 2012 can and 2008 can't. yes it sliced fine. i can now scale it (and get the x & y dimensions to whatever is required), slice it and get the depth right. bang a motor on the side and i've got a fan assembly that is good enough for my purposes, and easily modifiable for different fan sizes. happy days.
