rdjavi Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I have no idea how to draw a 3d object- leg for table so I need help. The object is shown in the picture and attached to the DWG file. Does anyone have an idea how to draw this leg, upper part of leg is a problem for me? fawn 3D.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I am not on my CAD computer so viewing your drawing ain't gonna happen however I would create the leg as two separate objects: leg and top plate (where the attachment to the table is made). I suspect the leg is tapered so that could be done using a couple of circles and the loft command. The top plate I would create from an extruded side profile. Add the holes. Union the leg and the top plate then fillet where they meet. You got all that? Maybe another forum member will join in the discussion now that you have had a response.

rdjavi Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 I drew the leg and top plate and the problem is how to connect them because the center of the upper circle of the leg is not in the middle of the top plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 How is your table coming along? Done yet? Sorry I have not had much chance to respond as I was dealing with a display driver problem which is now hopefully solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdjavi Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 I failed to draw the exact shape of leg, but this what I was able to draw'll be able to use of what I need. Thanks for your help! Drawing2.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 It's a start but it does have a flaw. Look at it using the 3D Orbit command and you'll see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdjavi Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 I know but I do not know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 That should not stop you from trying though. That is what separates the good CAD tech from the rest. You want to be good then challenge yourself to do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdjavi Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 I know but I'm now in a crowd with work so when I have time I'll try to draw again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
