I created a cone where I wanted to cut some cylindrical hole in it so I created the cylinders and did a boolean subtraction of the cylinders from the cone.
I got the holes cut out, but the resulting object appears as though it's hollow. Is this something do do with my display or is there a setting I'm missing to create objects as hollow/solid?
I'm modeling a fireplace in AutoCAD 2012 that has 2 solids that won't slice or work with boolean operations.
I'm trying to subtract the joints out of the header and legs of the fireplace to create seperate pieces but it won't do it. Slicing the solid at the joints doesn't work either.
The 3d model is too big to upload.
I have been working with autocad for approximately five months. I feel as though I have a pretty good grasp of the program's capabilities and commands, but I'm stumped. I've successfully imported a 3dm file to autocad 2012 and all of the geometry is present in autocad (it is not a 2d wireframe), but I am unable to perform boolean operations on it.
The model has also taken on a strange pale blue hugh, though the wirefram is lavender (unless I explode it and then unionize it several times over. Unfortunately this results in an issue with surface faces intersecting with one another, as well as a loss of geometry). The model cannot be converted to a surface nor a solid which means that it is not water-tight. This is not a model that I have created. I've been tasked by my employer to make several changes to it. Why (without exploding it) I cannot perform boolean operations.
I have a body object from Inventor. I need to create a rendering showing the inside of the unit. I created a spline, and extruded it as my "cutting object". When I try Boolean or ProBoolean, it doesn't look right.
ProBoolean makes it disappear and Boolean creates gaps in the geometry.
I would attempt to re-model this in MAX but it is far beyond my abilities right now.

I used an example to represent a more complex animation that I am working on. Basically I have a block moving in vertex space because it is morphing.A proboolean cut has been applied to the block with a diamond shaped object, so that as the block morphs through space, it is being cut by the boolean operand (diamond shape object).
However, I want to achieve an outcome that when the object moves through the boolean cutting operand, whatever geometry that has been cut, stays cut and removed. So in a way, the boolean cut operand object acts as a "geometry eraser". Obvioulsy I would like to be able to control this behaviour too (soft selection, animating boolean cutting operand).
Is this achievable? Or do I have to look at another set of tools/modifiers?
How can I remove the lines in the middle after I press and pull the objects.
Attached is the Untitle.jpg, to make more clearer to you. Blue is the wall and skyblue is the aquarium. I want the back and the front of the aquarium don't have any line in the middle but even I do shade command the fill of the color is still there. Cause if I explode and delete the line in the middle the colors that fill the aquarium are getting rid off See Untitled 2.Jpg to see what I mean. And also how can make the aquarium Untitle 3.jpg transparent?

how to extend a solid object. You can see at the picture that I attached what I mean and also I will try to explain. I draw a fence 1.5 m high. At one specific part of the yard I want the fence to be 2.0 m high. So I moved upper part (horisontal) of the fence to the height of 2.0 m. Now I want the 2 vertical poles to "extend" to that height. Now I can delete those poles and use extend command from the bottom and then use silce command. I was just wondering if their is a command that I can use to grab the pole as it is now and pull it up to the new height if that is possible without erasing it.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have AI in CS5 and a PC running Windows 7 and am struggling to get this to work:
I drew a horizontal line across the artboard. On top of this is a large circle, and then I centered a smaller circle atop the large circle. I need the small circle area on BOTH circles to be transparent so that the line AND the color background I've chosen (for when this is imported to InDesign) will show through.
I looked around the forums for answers, and decided to select the smaller circle, go to the Transparency palette and select Knockout Group. But the center of the larger circle doesn't show through where the smaller circle is. I then selected both circles (because the line under both circles needs to show through) and then clicked on Knockout Group. Still no change. There is something else I need to know, so here are my questions:
Is there something about the formatting of the circles that needs to be done? (Like perhaps the smaller circle needs to be formatted with no color in it?)
Do all three objects need to be on different layers? And if that's the case, can I group objects on different layers? Also,...

I have the 3d model of a ship, but it has no surfaces or solids, just lines. I want to create some solids based on those lines.
It's better if i attach the dwg to the post and explain what i want to do:
- in the file attached there are some lines marked with red and blue
- i want to create a solid/3dobject by extruding/lofting the red lines along the blue lines.
In the drawing only a few lines are colored, for better understanding. I tried with loft, but it only creates some surfaces. The point is that i need a solid or a 3d object.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have three different solid object and all those three have different masks and stroke effects in them.
The problem is, the one at the top always reign and doesnt let other stroke effects on masks to appear. I reckon the problem is the background of the solid object. If this is the problem, how can I change the transparency of the background. If not, what might the problem be ?
If I modify a 3D solid and it is left with two seperate pieces it is still one solid piece, even though there are two parts. My question is: What if only need one of those two sides? If I explode the object and delete the one side I cannot change the remaining object into a 3D solid. It remains as surface object.
How can make an object into a 3D solid after exploding it? I belive there is a simple command like union or some other but I can't remember.

I am having an issue transferring an object I have sculpted in Mudbox, and trying to import it correctly to Maya. In Mudbox, both of my objects show up just fine (don't worry about the UV issue on the face). When I choose to 'send objects to Maya,' the objects display in a new scene, but the hair doesn't show up at all. In the Outliner, Maya displays an empty transform node titled 'hair,' but I can't get it to show up as a solid mesh within the scene.
Am I going to have to remodel the hair in mudbox again and just pray that the model will import to Maya without issues?
I can use SolidSelection.Item for 3D object's handles and but I can't take 3D object's volumes with SolidSelection.

i'm applying an extrude modifier to a simple spline shape, and i am accustomed to the extrude modifier generating a solid 3d object in the shape of the spline, if the spline is a closed shape.
however, in this case, the extrude modifier is generating just a 3d outline based on the spline's shape...
i can't figure out why i'm not getting a solid 3d object since the spline is closed (i checked all the vertices).
file is attached (the spline in question is named "upper side section")
