Fitting without collision

[Discus84]

HI,

 

 The yellow line is wall, red is a box. I would like to know if the box fits by turning and sliding into opening. I put it into a circle as a bounding box and manually moved it around to check. 

There must be a more elegant way of doing this and mabe a way to calculate the max height of such box knowing its width and the wall depth with header height.

 

Thanks!

@Discus84  Your question reminded me of the time my son asked me if I could determine if the couch he was planning to buy would fit in the frieght elevator of his aprtment building.

 

There are several way to solove this problem.

1. Make multiple copies of the red box at different angles and the position them with object snap against the walls

 

2.  Use the paramteric feature of AutoCAD to create  and constrain the wall and the box.

 

The following image shows only the angle contraint of the box.

Tangency to the wall and floor is made via a dimensional contraint.

Here's the result of changing the box angle.

The following shows the dimensional and geometric constraints.

Note, d3 constrains the box to be flush with the back wall and d9 with the floor.

 

You can edit the dimensionsin the attached file to meet yout requirements.
