Came Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 poly line command change line in one object, line has 3 grips a polyline 2, list the tutorials you will find it there changes line into polyline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Pedit stands for Polyline Edit. I'm not sure what Came is actually suggesting. Maybe he thinks you're working in 2D as opposed to 3D. Are both boxes exactly the same (WxLxH)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Can you post a screenshot? After Union, you should only have 6 faces. How did you end up with 18? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 did you use lines or box command tray drawing 2 box then union Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If the boxes are exactly the same size then there really was no benefit to joining them other than you already had an extra one hanging around. You could have used the Move Faces command to just make the box taller (doubling the height). BTW...answer Cad64's question while you're at it.

ReMark Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 did you use lines or box command tray drawing 2 box then union Note: The OP specifically mentions "two boxes" and the "union" command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Lines??? Normally one would draw a box in plan view using a single continuous polyline and then extrude it the required height. You have some editting to do. The "union" command could not complete its task because your two boxes were not solids to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Came Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 he s traying to learn how this program work, faze to get it complicate as much posible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 OK Came, if you say so. I believe you. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 This is very confusing. As I said before, please post a screenshot, or better yet, post the drawing so we can see what's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Cad64: Could it be the OP constructed his two boxes using lines in a 3D environment and thought that by doing so he could then combine the two? That's why he has more faces than he had expected to see. I believe the union command failed to process the "boxes" because they weren't solids to begin with.

Yes, this is very possible and it is actually what I suspect has happened, but it still wouldn't explain how he ended up with 18 faces? Two boxes stacked on top of each other would only equal 12 faces. It would take 3 boxes to give you 18. But anyway, this is why I want to see a screenshot. All of this speculating is getting us nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Well, now he's gone so we may never know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
