utkarshmttl Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I want to slice the cuboid along a plane passing through DAF thus creating a tetrahedron. How do I do it? (Using Autocad 2010) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FazBear Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Welcome to the CADTutor Forum Here are the steps you require: 1. create a box to the required size 2. use the slice command with the 3 point option and pick points DAF. 3. pick a point on the side you wish to keep (or keep both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utkarshmttl Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thank you so much for your reply but I have already tried the slice command but it did not give me the effect I wanted. Moreover, after I select I two points, it just asks me to specify a point in the required region or both, without taking input of the third point.

JD Mather Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Does your version of AutoCAD have a Command Line? If so, does it look something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utkarshmttl Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yes, it does. And it looks the same as the picture you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FazBear Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Use the [3Points] option which will allow you to pick 3 points of your slice plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utkarshmttl Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 As already mentioned, I already tried that. And it only lets me select 2 points, after which it says about keeping one part or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FazBear Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 after starting the slice command you can choose an option to change the bahavior of the slice, without selecting the [3 points] option you will only be able to select 2 point and it will apply a slice to the current work plane (or at least this is what i think i does, i never use this). so after you input slice, before you start picking points you must choose the 3 points option. this will allow you to pick the 3 points you require. Ooops, didnt realise you have figured it out. GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
