donaldo Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I have made my very first attempt ay using 3D and I am not able to extrude some of the objects. Its a foundation plan so fairly simple. I have exploded some of the lines and rejoined and that seems to have worked as I assume there were overlapping lines or object not joined? However some are still not extruding....? Advice mush appreciated WV Founds 3D.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldo Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Ok thanks. How do I check my geometry is clean in future before commencing in 3D. And what measures should I take to ensure it is drawn accurately in the first place.. I guess using correct snaps etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, definitely make sure you're using Osnaps, but mostly, just go slow and make sure your linework is correct. Most mistakes happen when you get in a hurry and try to go too fast or you don't pay attention and end up with overlapping lines or endpoints that don't connect. I fixed the images in my previous post. There were supposed to be 2 images but for some reason only 1 was showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldo Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 I thought I was pretty accurate but this has illustrated there is room for improvement! Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 When you draw the lines which you plan to extrude use the PLINE command, which will guarantee that the resulting closed Polyline will be coplanar, when you are ready for the final leg of the continuous Polyline, use the C (for Close) option. You probably want to have ORTHO turned on, if your work is essentially rectilinear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
