Using AutoCAD 2014 I'm trying to model the tummy cut on the back of a guitar similar to this:
2013-06-03_15-46-23_140_zps0a2815e5.jpg
I've modeled it to my liking using a mesh surface, how can I "subtract" this area from my 3d solid body? I also have Fusion360, but don't really know how to use it.
I try to migrate our ObjectArx Api to Inventor. Therefore I need a function to create a mesh from a solid.
With Autocad .Net Api, I can use GetObjectMesh(DbObject obj, MeshFaceterData parameter). Does in the Inventor Api a similar function exist?
In the parameters I need to set the deviation in the same way as in the Autocad .Net Api.
Example:
FaceterDevNormal = 0.1;
FaceterDevSurface = 0.1;
FaceterMeshType = 2;
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 9 Replies View RelatedHow to create a work plane, say, in the middle of solid while editing, to use the extend and contract commands using IV2014? I'd like to avoid using Fusion as an option if possible. This should really be an easy thing to pull off as many STLs are now available for 3D printing but simply need a quick stretch here and there to print accurately.

I have already tried the "Convert to Solid" & "Convert to Surface" options in the Mesh tab but I get "Mesh not converted because it is not closed or it self-intersects." I also tried the f2s.lsp but I am unsure on how to select my object.

It is basically a 3D plot of cos(x) + cos(y).
I am working on 3D modelling of a building in AutoCAD 2010. The 3D model has 7 elements ie walls, roof and its constituents and floor and its constituents. I have to mesh the 3D model created so that I can use the meshed model for further analysis. Is there any method for meshing the created 3D model in AutoCAD?

I am trying to convert a mesh to solid in AutoCAD 2010 using the CONVTOSOLID command but I get this message . . .
'Mesh not converted because it is not closed or it self-intersects. Object cannot be converted.'
Is there another way of achieving this?
I have received a drawing drawn in a polyface mesh and I'm trying to convert it into a 3D shape in order to determine the volume and surface area of the shapes.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI created something in Rhino and imported it in Autocad as .3ds file but the geometry is not a solid one but a polyface mesh and I cannot edit it with boolean commands, thus I cannot continue editing it...I found out that there is this plugin Mesh 2 Solid but it is not free and I cannot find a proper crack anywhere..I cannot find any other way to make mesh solid...

I have a project where I have got a drawing from an architect which is drawn as a mesh.
I consists of triangular panels which is joined together with different angles. (see attachment)
I have tried to model it in 3d with autocad, but I can`t get the joints to be precise.
I am going to produce this panels with our cnc-router in a 12 mm mdf board.
The panels has to be mitered in the joints.
I have the following questions:
Is it possible in autocad, to model this figure and separate each panel, with the correct angles on the edges?
I downloaded the .stl file from here, which is a very detailed model of 20mb size:
[URL].....
it can be opened in inventor and is shown as a mesh object. Then I tried the plugin "Autodesk Mesh Enabler" to turn it into a solid. After almost an hour it produced something of 350mb, but it cannot be opened anymore, it crashes inventor immediately. Are there any settings to that plugin to reduce the number of elements that it creates?
I heard Mesh4CAD is a similar tool for autocad. I am installing autocad now, hoping that it is more powerful for these kind of things...
I just need to take measurements and attach new objects to the model, or can this somehow be enabled for mesh objects as well, without converting?
I just started with Autocad and I got a problem with creating a solid. The file is attached and as you can see I managed to make the form as a Mesh but from that point I can't convert it to a solid.

I'd like to be able to create a surface or mesh from contour lines to give a better 3D representation of terrain than just contour lines. "Drape" seems to be the tool ACA, but I'm wondering if AutoCAD can do something similar. LOFT sorta works, but even then, I have to do it in sections, and I'm not really looking for a solid.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn previous versions I could create a flat polygon mesh by typing "3D" and have an option to create a planar mesh "M" X "N" by specifying the 4 corners along with M and N. I don't see a way to draw this mesh in 2012 without having to ID every vertices. This procedure is listed in the Legacy portion of Help, but I do not see a way to do it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedBelow is my test procedure for "Create Curve Mesh Element" by Inventor simulation 2012.
1. I made a box 100(W)X100(D)X20(H) with 2xR20 (mm) fillets at the opposite edges.
2. I copied a box I made for making 2 type mesh.
3. I made mesh on the box without "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374
Element number: 1365
4. I made mesh another model with "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374 (same number, not increase)
Element number: 1365
Mesh shape is different(please refere attachiment jpeg file).
I think that "Create Curved Mesh Element option" is not for making second tetrahedron elements.But I cnanot the true porpose of "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.For only P method, not H method?
I have an assembly that has somewhere a hole with a round bar that exactly fits in this hole. But when meshing the assembly, the mesh of the hole and the mesh of the bar are different.
The result is that the different parts do only seem to touch each other at the edges of the mesh, resulting in high stresses.
See picture.
I tried to made a derived part from the assembly, but that one does not finish meshing. After 48 hours, the progress bar is still half way. While the one above did finish in about 15 minutes. What can I do to make the meshes match?
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.
