I cant figure out an efficient way to hallow something out after it is a 3d solid. Usually if I want this I will draw it in 2d knowing I will extrude one region and not the other. My problem comes with a sphere. I need to put a square hole through it. Its probably an easy 123 operation but am unfamiliar.
View 4 RepliesI want to create jig to insert hallow slab (polyline) everything works fine until I am trying to use an added keyword for rotation then Autocad crashes really bad (no error information). Here is a code, in comment place where program crashes.
Ps: I've already been on through the interface and tried to use text jig but no result in my case

We have this need to have all of the solids in a drawing to be placed in the "solid" layer.
Sometimes folks are drafting lines to develop these solids, and keeping the lines on the "solid" layer, rather than moving them to another layer, or deleting them altogether.
I could get folks to run this command before leaving the drawing.
I'm thinking something along the lines of:
Select all entities that are on the solids layer that are not solids.
If nil, great, do nothing.
If entities are selected, let me do something with them.
I'm hoping the following can be modified ever so slightly.
(setq non_solid (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "3DSOLID")(cons 8 "solid"))))
I'm trying to split a single solid body into 2 solid bodies. The problem is that the body I'm trying to split consists of two separate pieces. I can split a body when it is a single piece no problem, but I'm having the problem when the two pieces are not joined at all.
When I try and split it on the origin plane it gives this error:
"Creating parting line failed. Could not build this Split"
When I try and split it on a work plane lying on one of the pieces it gives this error:
"Creating parting line failed. Modeling failure in ASM. Redefine inputs."
Or, another variation on this erorr:
"Creating parting line failed. Split feature could not create two bodies. Change the Split Tool so that split feature can create two bodies."
I have a.3ds file imported into Civil 3d. The object imported as a polymesh in Civil 3d. I need the solid 3d object to do some edit like slice or union and subtract.
The question is "How can I import .3ds into Civil 3d as a solid objects or hoe can i convert polymesh to solid?"
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?

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?

I want to make the solid and then set something up that allows the user to change a few of the parameters of the solid in a very user friendly way (i.e. a box that says "cylinder radius" and has an input box so the user can enter a value).
i am having a hatching issue, it seems no matter what hatch pattern i use and what hatch scale, alot of the hatch looks solid instead of the pattern i want, for example i am using currently ANSI37 @ Annotative with a scale of .20 and on the same paperspace page one plan with the hatch shows the cross hatching and the other one below looks solid (see attached) now i can go and say change the hatch scale and it reverts to the cross hatching, but then when i zoom out it goes back to "solid" is it a graphical issue?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've opted for 3D scan of a part, it is Shoe Horn. And the scaned people sent me an .igs format and I requested them to mail me .dwg format to work with ACAD2007. Accordingly they too converted .igs to .dwg, but the converted .dwg file is unable to convert into surface or solid, once if it could be converted in surface or solid only we can do further development.
convert this into surface or solid. make this as surface or solid model, to work further with ACAD 2007.

Any good STL to Autocad solid converter?
I have a old drawing that the original file got corrupted but I still have a STL model of.
I have created this rendering and for some reason the metal plate which is supposed to be non-transparent is showing up with some transparency.
I'm using the diamond plate material that comes with AutoCAD. There is no transparency setting with this material so I can't set it to non-transparent. Short of trying some different materials, I was thinking there must be some way of resolving this.

I have a solid of a vortex breaker for a nozzle in a cone, from which I subtracted the cone. But when I attempt to subtract the nozzle as well, it will not subtract. I have verified that both entities are solids. I copied them into a new drawing by themselves. I even rebooted my computer--all to no avail. I have attatched a drawing of the two solids.
