AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Create Complex 3D Solid For Buildings Ceiling

Jun 4, 2013

I have a problem when designing one building in 3d. The thing is i want to create a 3d model made only out of 3d solids. So there is this complex ceiling, I made out of 3 meshes and above it, in the above floor, there's a non complex plate.

[URL] ........

This meshes are made based on the actual dimensions of different sides of the floor, are unique and are good approximation of the actual building's ceiling. So, I want to make 3d solid that would have the same bottom shape and the same - even top as in the picture if the space between the objects would be filled out.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Converting Complex Solid Surface To Solid Model

Aug 12, 2013

I have finally created the shell of the complex surface that you see. This is only a section of the part because I cannot show the whole thing for proprietary reasons. I formed solid surfaces using the network command. The propblem is that it will not convert to a solid because the surface seams are not "water tight." When the network command created the solid surfaces, the surface seams do not exactly match the lines so there are gaps in all the seams. I have tried blending, patching, etc. and nothing works. how to convert this to a solid without losing the outlines and the shape?

AutoCad 3D :: Creating Complex 3D Object / Solid

Aug 31, 2012

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.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Create Solid From Vertices

Jul 29, 2012

I have borehole data of a site, where I want to sort of extrapolate the borehole data to the whole site, so that I can have a 3D soil model of the whole site. I have attached my DWG file, the vertical lines represent the borehole data and different colors represent different types of soil.

I'm thinking of manually extrapolating the data to the edges of the site, then split the site area into few different parts, and then create solids for each part, where each point is a vertices of a solid. But how to create a solid from 8 vertices, which would naturally form a closed solid like a box.

Besides this, are there any other methods of achieving what i want (3D soil model from borehole data)?

AutoCAD 2010 :: LOFT - Can't Create 3D Solid Because Of Spline Surface

Jun 17, 2011

As you can see, the nature of my model forbids me from making a 3D solid using LOFT.

The top surface is consisted of 3D polyline and arc, which if "joined" will be become a spline.

The bottom surface can easily be joined into polyline.

If I loft the top and bottom, it'll only give me a LOFTED Surface, which is not I want (wanted a 3D solid).

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Create Solid Arrow Head For Multileader

May 10, 2012

See attached file.

I have this special type of callout, which is not easy to draft, but it looks pretty in plans. Is there any easy way to convert this to multileader?

Usually, I create it as block, insert it and change location of solid arrow around textbox. If I want to relocate this callout, Its not that easy as like multileader. I have to move solid arrow around textframe (from one corner to other) to point the same location. can this be done automatically (like mleader?)

AutoCad :: Create 2x4 Ceiling Grid Hatch For Layout Planning

May 2, 2012

I'm trying to create a simple 2x4 ceiling grid hatch for layout planning, but AutoCAD keeps giving me an error when I try to use it.

Here's the custom hatch that I wrote at the very end of the acad.pat file:
*CGRID, 2x4 grid
0, 0,0, 0,48
90, 0,0, 0,24

When I load up ACAD, it shows the hatch in the selection, but after I've defined the area and I try to apply the hatch, I get this error in the command line:

Missing parameter on line 385.

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?

AutoCad 2D :: Create Complex Linetypes With Text

Jul 24, 2012

I am really new to AutoCAD and we are currently using AutoCAD 2007. I have managed to create a complex linetype with text. I have a DWG of the plan I need to lay utility cables on to. When I put a line with text into the model space, the text is really small so looks like a really small, continous line unless I zoom in until I can zoom in no more; I changed the scale so that the definition of the line and text was more visible (by changing linetype scale and lineweight) but when I go into the layout pages, the line just looks like a continuous thick line when I put the LWT on. If I return to model space and reduce scale and weight, it still looks like a continuous, thick line. The page size is A1..

AutoCAD 2010 :: Sweeping Along A Complex 3DPolyline

Apr 16, 2013

I am modeling an ASME pressure vessel with a 2:1 semi elliptical head upon which there must be a couple of lines of .375" trace tubing. I created a 3dpolyine that is the center line of this tubing, and joined all the segments into one so as to be able to sweep the whole thing and make one solid of the tubing run, but it simply will not sweep. I get a message this it is "unable to sweep the selected object." If I break the 3dpolyline, I can sweep parts of it, but the more complex the line segment, I again get the error message. I have attached a copy of the tubing centerlines.

The one on the left is the joined 3dpolyline, the one on the right is the 3dpolylines unjoined. (These were achieved using an intersection command of a rotated surface--the head profile--and an extruded surface--the tube tracing plan layout.) I have done this before, but only with the unjoined 3dpolyline, as in the right-hand example, but that is very time consuming as each segment must be swept. But I recently acquired a third-party LISP routine that joins the 3dpolylines into one. I'm thinking there must be a limitation on data of the 3dpolyline preventing the sweep, and wondering if there is a setting or system variable that will allow the more complex 3dpolyline to be swept.

Revit :: Unable To Create Arrays Of Ceiling Light Fixtures

Jul 24, 2012

Having trouble creating arrays of ceiling light fixtures in Revit 2013? It gives me this error message;

'Can't place inserts outside of hosts. These elements won't be copied'

I've adjusted all manner of settings to make sure the copies don't fall outside the limits of the host ceiling but without success. It only occurs with linear arrays on ceilings not radial arrays for ceilings or linear or radial arrays for walls?

3ds Max :: Create A Complex Shape With Opacity Map

May 29, 2012

I am trying to create a complex shape with an opacity map. To keep things simple, consider an egg shape with heagon shaped windows. I have tried to create a solid / shell with boolean cut-outs, but getting these windows at the right angles is becoming very difficult.So, I tried a CV Surf with an opacity map. This allows for the windows to work well, but there is no depth to the surface.Is there a way to add depth to a CV surf object? Also, I want the map of the interior to be different from the exterior. A solid will have a ton of polygons, making mapping a huge time sink.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Convert Solid To Polyline With Mechanical 2010

Nov 8, 2012

I'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 and received a .DXF file that contains 'solid' objects. Unfortunately the next tool in my workflow doesn't understand 'solids' only polylines (and a few other basic shapes like circles, lines, etc). Is there some way to convert the object in AutoCAD?

I tried the 'boundary' command but when it asks to 'Pick Points' and I click inside the solid, it always gives the error 'Valid hatch boundary not found'.

What am I missing here?

AutoCad 3D :: Create A Solid From 3D Polyline

Jun 13, 2013

As part of a larger job we have surveyed the top of a dry stone wall. The client now wants that we make a solid for him from the surveyed points with a height of 2000mm (the drawing units are in millimetres).

A 3d polyline was created from the lines joining the points and I have that in the attached drawing.

I'm not looking for someone to create the wall, but I'm looking for the method to do it, as it will certainly crop up again with this new client. I've tried many ways in both AutoCAD and Civil 3D but just can't create the solid.
