Caddyshack_83 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm looking to make a simple 3D-Block. From what i read online you cant really create a 3d-dynamic block. What I want to do: Create a simple cube, then being able to change the size of the cube either with grips or typing in the heights, widths, lengths for the X,Y,Z. This cube will be used for showing the (No-Fly Zones) for particular areas where VAV-boxes go in a building. I could create a 2D block with different sizes to it and then insert the block near the VAV-box and then burst or explode the block to then extrude the shape to a required height. (We are working in 3D here) The purpose for all this! Its then used in Coordination meetings for other trades to see how much clearance there is and required for the HVAC trade. Thanks.

nestly Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I don't believe you'll have any luck grip editing a dynamic block in 3 dimensions, viability states perhaps if you don't need infinite adjustability. Your profile says MEP2013, and I've seen demos where "clearances" where built into parametric parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Create your 3D cube block and use the XYZ scale factors in the properties manager (little clue - make it little - 1 unit cube then scale factors to the dimension you need) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
