When joining 2 pipes (cylinders)how do you get a radius/fillet where the 2 pipes intersect? How can you control the radius size? Attached is a 2010 version and 2013 version MAX file

View 2 Replies View Relatedi already searched for a similiar problem, but I did not find any.. I'm new to 3ds Max and im using 2014.
I created a spline from a shape, which is the upper spline. The lower spline is created by the create line option. With refine i added a few vertexes.
Now i want to connect the vertexes but it doesnt work. The only 2 vertexes that are connectable when i click on connect (a little + appears when I hover those vertexes) is the lower right and the lower left. When I use cross section, all the vertexes connect anyhow, but not the way I want it.
I have a few splines where I have set a radial thickness, to render them as pipes.
I scaled them, and now the thickness values are no longer correct for any scaled line. Lofting or sweeping a circle shape along them makes no difference, as if the lines themself bear the scaling information.
If I create a new line, everything is ok. Is there a way to reset a line?
I recently downloaded some sketch brushes off a website but when applying them to a shape like a circle, the brush doesnt follow all the way through. Like on the right side its got that separation.

The thing is: when I try put then together the limit of the layers create an edge that prevents connection. I'm sending some images to try to make this clear: 1- all layers together with the thin line between the 2- closer to junction 3- closer 3200% to see what really happens.

Another thing, How do i conect all my drawing downloads i have together ive tried the coordinates system and just dont get anywhere.
Downloaded from Digimap i have 20 different drawings of this section but i cant connect them together. I have a catalogue system which is just like a coordinates section with these 20 places. All my drawings are fine they open in autocad fine just need to put them together to link them.
I have two sets of identical spur gears. I want them to be lined and connected big-small-big-small gear. But how to connect this two sets together. I can create motion and axes constrains but it still lacks teath meshing. I found some tutorial how to create differential drive, it works with downloaded gears but not with one that I create (it says to set imates to visible which does nothing and alt-move mesh imates toghether which also do not work). I work with 2009 and 2011 versions.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a series of curved walls with windows in them as I place the windows they do not place into the walls because of breaks in the wall line between them. I have atempted to make a line out of the wall and convert the line into one single wall segment but it always breaks back down to the geometry of arc+ arc+circle exctra is there a way to make the wall one single wall or to make a series of arcs into a single polyline so I can convert it into a wall face?

Im having a little issue with connecting lines and circles but not sure how to shorten the question to do a search on here. I have 2 concentric circles (the two circles form the walls of a round tower wall) which have 2 lines (representing a wall) passing through them. I want to join the circles from the circumference to the lines, but each time I try to do it the line seems to default to the center of the circles and to the endpoints of the lines which is not what I want. The eventual aim will be to remove a section of the circles and the lines where the new line connects to them to form an opening in the walls.
Ive tried <shift>right click and selecting tangent on the circles but I cant figure out what to do on the lines and it constantly defaults to the end of the line not to where I want to intersect the lines.
I have a curved path. I want to add on to this path with another curve. I know how to make another curved line, but I don't know how to make it to where the final product (when both the paths are connected) nice and smooth. Currently I'm having to try and do it by eye (I'm trying to make it as smooth as possible by looking at the first path and making the curve on the second path as close as I can).

connecting two circles with different diameter into a solid. I tried loft, but it is a partial solution since it creates a surface. I know there is a solid option. There surely is a way and a simple one but i don't know how. Bellow there is a picture with diameters and length of the mast. Also i included a dwg file. Not much done there.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAs i discovered, frame generator is a very handy tool to make a frame, and to connect beams to each other.
For a customer we need to build a large frame, The outer beams are connected directly to each other. The beams inside the outer frame need to have a gap because of mounting and welding.
What i am looking for is a kind of tool, where i can add a notch, and after the notch, shorten the beam with 1 mm at each side to make a gap, which is needed for welding.
Inventor gives an error if i add first a notch followed by a Lengthen/Shorten command. How to add a notch and a gap of 1 mm to a connecting beam?

It says "test connection succeeded" but when I attach the database, it comes up with a red "X" symbol next to it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using the line tool rather frequently as of late and have found it to be quite useful. More to the point, midway through lining over something my lines stopped showing endpoints to snap to when I wished to place another, resulting in some rather unpleasantly rough shapes. My question is: what did I press / change to do this, and how can I go about un-doing it?
