AutoCad 3D :: Sectioning 3D Wireframe
Apr 29, 2011I'd like to section (Divide the area between the upper surface and lower surface of a 3d wire frame into sections.

View 9 RepliesI have to create a workplane and then define the section.
Usually the sectioning is done w.r.t flat surface/s and then the section plane can be offset depending upon our requirement and placement in the assembly. I am not getting this offset option when I want a Sectioned View. The section takes where I click on the flat face straight.
I would like to place arrowheads on the vertical sectioning lines (for the hatched view on the right), as well as on the horizontal line (for the bottom view), but I couldn't succeed in doing this. So, I left it just as line without arrowheads. Also, I would like to know if there are options for dimensioning fillets, as the one in my drawing comes with round symbol of portion of circle upon which the arrowhead touch (instead of on the fillet itself) - see R.12 and R.50.

2012 SP2.
I have yet another query to ask. I have created an assembly with standards parts and objects mainly;
1. Valve with Actuator
2. Stud Bolts with Nut
3. Angle bar
4. Objects (Clamps)
I wanted to show an ISOMETRIC cross sectional view of the said assembly. I noticed after doing it so, that there were missing standard parts/objects.
How do I make them visible on the cross section ISOMETRIC view?
I am having an odd problem in AutoCAD 2014. I have 3D solids and when I cut a section through the building various objects in the 2D section are placed very far (like over 100,000 meters) to the left or the right of the main section. I have exploded all blocks down to their base components (all 3D solids).
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith my viewport set at "2D wireframe", all object lines show regardless of elevation which can make it difficult to read and hard to really get the idea of what is going on in the drawing. Therefore I changed my viewport to "hidden" in an attempt to depict what is higher in elevation over lower objects by having the higher objects cancel out lower objects when running over them. For some reason it works with conduit running over conduit but when the conduit runs over other objects (that are lower in elevation) created with the box command the lines do not get broken.. the lower box object actual cancels out the higher conduit object??

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt work one of our computers is running Acad 2009. For some reason the nav. cube only shows if I use a visual style other than 2D Wireframe. With the latter it's gone, and seeing how 2D Wireframe is what I use 90% of the time I really miss the cube! I can't find a solution to this in the nav. cube options.

I'm using 2D wireframe as my default view while extruding some solid pipes. Everything appears to work fine, but when I switch to any other shademode eg. 3D wireframe, some of the pipes disappear. In Navisworks they show up as listed objects in the selection tree but cannot be displayed and more imporantly do not get considered in clash detection.
I can't see anything different about the properties of the "hidden" pipes over any others that can be seen.
If I slice the "hidden" solids, then one half or both halves become visible like a normal solid again.
I have hundreds of pipes to model and clash so need to resolve what's happening here. Attached is a small sample file.
I am sometimes experiencing that my wireframe is suddenly "left behind" when moving a part in an assembly. I'm using the Shaded With Edges visual option, and the edges are left behind as you can see in the attached picture.
I haven't been able to reconstruct this error, and the part itself works fine. I can save, close, and open in order to fix the wireframe.

I am looking for a settings which can change the width of the line in 3d wireframe. Some of my users find that too thin. I've looked into application's options and in the registry. I can change almost anything but not that width.
Does any of you allready tried?
A have AutoCad 2000. I have made a 3D wireframe drawing of a boat hull by drawing each "wire" individually. Most of the surface of the hull is curved in two directions. The drawing is made of some straigt lines, polylines, elipses and circles and many arcs and splines. Snap is used everywhere so all lines connects together where they should do.
The problem I have is the drawing is difficult to view as the lines that should be hidden is not hidden. I can't find any way to do this. I have played with the 2D, 3D wireframe, with render, shaded etc. But I cant find any way to do it.
Is it not possible to hide the (what should be) invisible parts of a manually drawn up 3D wireframe drawing?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn model space, my walls all show with correct colors. However, when I go into a tab, the viewport is showing my walls in different colors than what I have specified. There are no overrides within the viewport. The display is 2D wireframe. If I change the display to 3D wireframe, the colors change to the correct ones, but the dimension hashes are also in wireframe, not filled. Why the 2D display is changing my wall colors and how I can change these to show as I want them to?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed the SketchUp plugin in the hope that I would be able to easily and effectively transfer SketchUp models into AutoCAD and subsequently into Revit.
However, upon importing the SketchUp model, extra wireframe is added to the flat surfaces from vertex to vertex. This does not affect the CAD model as such as it appears that these lines are necessary for CAD to create the surfaces.
Though when imported into Revit from CAD, these surfaces are unable to be processed and the model becomes incomplete, also failing to identify the windows and doors that had been previously identified as the model had been taken from Revit, through CAD and to SketchUp with no problems and then all the way back again.
What is the next step of importing it back to Revit as I am unsure how to retain its levels (i.e Floor plans).
I need information on how to create a 3D Solid Model from wireframe and surfaces using AutoCAD 2013.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got a very complex 3D AutoCAD model (exported as DWG) that's come from an external company that use Micro station. Ultimately I'm trying to link it into Revit, but I'm having problems doing this. What I'd like to do is convert the 3D faceted model into a wireframe ONLY model, ie. remove all the faces. (I've got another wire frame model in Revit already so I know this will work) I know you can change the 'view' by using SHADEMODE but I'd like to actually remove the faces from the model all together leaving only the lines on the 'edges'. So the Wireframe view of Shade mode is exactly what I want but I need to get those faces out somehow.
I've tried exploding it all, but that only gets rid of a few faces ...thought exporting to DXF might do it but hasn't.
my viewport is set for 2d wireframe, even when i have certain layers turned off or frozen the viewable lines in the layyers that are 'on' are broken as if i was in 2D hidden. text wont show up if over a "box" entity, no matter what elevation i set it at. The results come out upon printing as well.
There must be a display setting i am unaware of to fix this. Why do certain entities override others even if the later is at an elevation above it? Someone referred to draw order before but I still do not understand how to make that work.
I'm trying to create a dynamic block with visibility states for different wireframe sections, with objects (simple lines) in x,y & z planes.
The block represents a bay of scaffolding, which dynamically arrays in length in set bay sizes, but i want to add visibility for different height section arrangements (i.e number of scaffold lifts in 2m lift heights)
I have this working with the maximum section (16m high), and I hoped to be able set visibility states from for the sections 16m down to 6m by "make invisble" the upper scaffold lifts in reducing heights.
The block editor will only give me the plan (x,y) view to modify the dynamic elements. Is there a way to view left, right or even isometric in the block editor?
I have plan and elevation views in autocad 2012. I am adding a new entry to my house and I just want to see what it will look like in a perspective view or something.
I went to the library and took out a tutorial on autocad 3D drawing. After 8 hours all I can draw is a stupid birdhouse with no hole for the bird to go in. I am not stupid and I am good with computers, so I figure that I am completely missing something here.
Is there not some way for me to take my plan and elevations and just put them together like one would a paper model?
Is there not some quick and easy way to mock up parts of houses?
I am just a homeowner, and I don't want to pay an architect to do this for me. Maybe I am using the wrong tool? Maybe I need Autocad Architecture? Maybe some other product? I am very frustrated.
So here is my challenge to all of you: assume that your dad or your friend wants to build a deck for his house, and he wants to model it in 3D to see what it will look like. He has never done anything in 3D in AutoCAD, but he can draw 2D drawings. He has exactly 8 hours to learn whatever tool he needs, AND, to produce the 3D drawing.
Note: a simple wireframe drawing is fine, I can color the thing with pencil crayons or whatever after if I need to.
After doing a few renders, my drawing now reverts to wireframe every time I close it, save it, regen. how to stop this from happening? It will basically not stay in 2D wireframe and the dwg has become very sluggish.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed AutoCAD 2014 and noticed when I try to select objects behind a solid (in wireframe) it will select the face of the solid and I am not able to select any objects behind that solid. In the past, while in wireframe, I wasn't able to select a solid unless an edge was selected. Now if I click on a face it will select that item, which is not allowing me to select anything behind it. Is there a variable to change the way a solid is selected while in wireframe?

I have never done any 3d modeling in autocad before it took me a few days just to get the wireframe of a staircase done! I have tried to render this object in viewport but it disappears after I click on it or move around, therefore I cannot see it in my paper layout. How do I make a rendered object stay? Also I want to plot this on 22x34in and 11x17in paper, how would I go about getting a high quality rendered image. I am using autocad 2010.
