How can I extrude or bevel a cicle from a square polygon? I tried the inset too but the only makes another polygon inside the original. Also I am using the student version of Max, if that makes any difference. I do however have access to the full version of Max at my University.
View 9 RepliesI have a window schedule lisp routine that places a 6-sided polygon around text that label each window. I want to change the code so that its a circle instead of a polygon. Here is the code line that needs to be modified:
(command "polygon" "6" "fro" (cdr (assoc 10 (entget templine)))(strcat "@38,-" (rtos (+ (* linecount 18) 14) 2 0)) "C" "6")
Is there a setting for extruding polygons so it doesnt leave the original polygon.
When i extrude a polygon into a 3D solid, it extrudes fine but it also keeps the original polygon which means i have to delete it?
In Photoshop / Illustrator, when I create a polygon, and rotate it around it's center point it wobbles. When I scribe it inside of a perfect circle, and rotate it around the circle's center point it rotates smoothly. Basically proving that (at least according to these Adobe products) that the center point of a circle is different than the center point of a polygon scribed inside of it.
An image – the dots in the center are the corresponding center points according to Adobe:

This is incorrect according to basic math. Is Adobe aware of this bug?
I need to find the center of a circle that is tangent to another circle and a point on a line. I cannot use tangent tangent radius.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering the best way to draw a circle that passes through an endpoint of a line and then is tangent to another circle above it? I need to create a radius of 3.5 between the two points.

I've created a simple building in Revit (metric) and imported it into 3ds Max (units set to metric).
I was cleaning up the geometry on one of the walls, and am having some problems. The wall was 200mm in Revit, and using the measure tool, it comes in as 200mm in 3ds max.
To clean up the geometry on one of the walls, I removed the vertices from one side, deleted any other unnecessary vertices, and rebuilt the polygon.
When I went to extrude it, I got odd measurements. If I extrude using the "Edit Geometry>Extrude" option with a value of .2m, it comes out 2.41 meters thick.
If I extrude using the "Face Extrude" modifier (.2 in the "Amount" field), it comes out as .06 meters.What am I missing?
I have a simple question about extruding. I want to extrude a simple plane and want to keep the bottom side of this plane open. In short I don't want a thickness effect. Maya keeps closing the bottom side of the plane and build a cube.
How can I do this in Maya,
I am trying to create a solid model of a helical gear and need to know how to include a rotation or twist with the extrusion.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the need to curve a region, then extrude it, is this possible?
The region is a flat view of a plasma cut plate with lots of holes/shapes that then gets rolled, doing it the way I describe would exactly re-produce in cad how the finished physical product comes out.
I am starting up my class again using AutoCAD Civil 2011. I want to extrude a circle or just a closed pline to a solid. I have done this many times before, but now it is not extruding to a solid, just a "Surface Extrusion". My commands are C:circle; C:region; (shows as filled circle and confirms it is a region); and finally C: extrude ; when I extrude it it is not a solid but rather a hollow "Surface Extrusion". Is it a function of 2011 and something I have turned on?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up so isometric views with legacy hidden settings so it properly displays as it would in real life. I started out by making 2 rectangles (one 1/4" bigger than the other) and centered them together.
I then turned it into one polyline so I could extrude it.
But now it thinks that it's one big chunk of metal in the center, and not hollow. I don't know how to get a hollow piece of something.
make a hollow object that had a wall width??
When I try to extrude this closed polyline (yes it is closed) I get the message "Cannot sweep or extrude a self-intersecting curve." I do this sort of extrusion all the time (closed polylines with various geometry) and usually have no trouble.

As already visible on this picture I am having trouble with extruding some of the shapes of the shelves.
The tricky thing is what I have been doing differently with the one shapes where the extruding leads to the desired result and the others where it does not work. I have been trying different things: changed the shapes from splines to polylines etc. Does not work...
I´ll add a reduced version of the drawing here: the original shapes are on layer 0, the extrusions on 0 - X

Is it possible to extrude a curved 2D surface to give it thickness? For example, if you were to draw a loop the loop shape but it was just flat, could you extrude it out to give it thickness?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a complex roof truss (kind of similar to the new roof in Kings Cross station) and have currently got it in autocad as thousands of lines.... I am hoping to 3d print it and require all the lines to be solid cylinders of which I can convert easily enough individually... Any way of converting them all to cylinders to save having to do this over 5000 times!!

I'm currently working on a model and there are a few faces that need extruding. Whenever I go to extrude them rather than just adding to the face it simply takes the face moves it back (or forward) and adds sides to it, so rather than being a solid extrude it's a concave area.

I'm trying to extrude a flat polygon so that i can break it up into pieces using volumebreaker. When i'm in edit poly and i extrude , this is what happens: url....I want it to be extruded downwards, but leave the selected area on the top.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't post the original files, but I have gotten permission to post jpegs of what I am trying to do.
My end goal is to fill in between the grey part and the surface. The surface comes from another part in the assembly, and I used Copy Object to get the surface in this part file. Ideally I would like to do something like Extrude> To Next and select the surface as my terminator. I have done this with success with curved surfaces, but not complex curved surfaces. Does Inventor not handle extruding to complex curves?
Another option I tried was simply extending this part out beyond the surface using the Split feature to trim the part. Again, to no avail. I also tried creating a subassembly of this part and the part the surface is derived from with this part extending beyond the surface, deriving it and subtracting the surface part so I could use Delete Face with the Lump option. No dice there, either.
There was a hole in the side of the surface where I am trying to extrude the part (it is still open on the other side of the surface), but I used Patch and it seemed to fill it in just fine.

I have been extruding bodies around parts, then using their verticies for the frame generator (to guard around complex machinery.I then suppress the body and am left with the guard frame.
when i go to get the mass for the part, it includes the volume of the solid body which was used to give the outline.how can i turn the material property to zero density?
I have a arc that is about 21.5 radius and .5 in width. My problem is that it is going on a bench that i have made and the corner piece needs to be cut out and i am trying to figure how to make this line look like an actual piece. I can extrude the piece to 21 inches tall, but then i need it tapered back to fit this bench were making.
