I’ve attached an image of what I'm trying to create in 3D .I can make two straight prongs with no problem, but I can’t figure out how to get them to twist around each other as they are in the picture. It’s important that the two prongs are symmetrical and do not merge into one another where they twist.

How does one remedy this Adobe error message? "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use." This one always gets me. I'll spend more time trying to find the object in question. This has happened in almost al versions, but this time it's CS5.

I tried selecting a roof polygon and making a copy and editing it but still when I apply materials to this polygon they apply to all of the dimensional lumber. Probably because I made a copy as a clone but it didn't give me the "copy" option.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a solid model of a helical gear and need to know how to include a rotation or twist with the extrusion.
View 2 Replies View RelatedEssentially, I am attempting to create something similar to this: [URL] .....
But cannot get enough twisting action. I just need to know how to twist an object properly. For example, what I have done is created a two sketches of hexagons on offset planes, and lofted between the two sketches. If I rotate one hexagon sketch slightly, it will result in a twisting effect. However, if I want to get any significant amount of twisting, rotating the sketch does not work. I have tried with a goil, but that gets the entire object (with a sweep, in this case) to spiral.
Im trying to reproduce the part attached. Its a rectangular aluminum tube. .320 x .180 approx an inch long. I tried lofting 2 sketches but the result does appear like the attached image.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do a 3d curve stair rail. I had the 3d spline path, I had the polyline rail profile, but after I sweep the profile, it end up being twisted at the end of the rail. Same problem happens when I did a sweep using a helix path, imagine a vertically placed rectangular profile at one end of the path then after using sweep command, the other end was somehow twisted on a certain degree. How can I avoid this twisting problem
See the before and after image. I wanted the rectangle profile to remain vertical throughout the whole sweep

I have the following sheet metal application: A flat bar steel (strip) 40x1mm is bent and twisted around three cylinders. In our process, the strip is running in loop around these cylinders, like a conveyor-belt. At first, it is bent around the first cylinder (blue). Then, it is bent and twisted around the second cylinder (green). Between these cylinders, a flat part is modelled so that the strip will be bent upwards (twisted) around the next cylinder. The same is done between cylinder two and three. In praxis, when I bend the strip, no flat part will be present, because the strip is quite stiff, as it is spring steel. In my Inventor model, no stiffness of the strip is taken into consideration.
I am looking for a better way to model this strip, where stiffness of the material is taken into consideration.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to model a forged steel table base so I can create some tooling to reproduce it. See the attached photo of the base. I am able to sweep along my 3D projected sketch path but there is a twist at the center that I believe I need a guide rail to control. I have tried to draw a rail but it fails.
I suspect I am not drawing my guide rail correctly as to create the slight twist. I was considering drawing a shallow helix along the 3d sweep path but not sure that this is the best direction to head next. I have attached the .ipt with the sweep (without guide path being used).

I have tried to make a dynamic block using annotative objects, text leaders, etc. The block was created initially as annotative but later somehow after going over it in the block editor. It has lost it's annotative properties. Is there a way to make a dynamic block that is not annotative, make it annotative. this block has only visibility features.
View 5 Replies View Relatedis there a way to make twin objects in autocad drawings?
what do i have in mind. lets say i have object that is repeating in several other places (floors) like in picture "a". and i need to change them all in the same way by making changes on only one of them. so like it is showen in pictures "b" and "c" i would rotate and move only object at 1st floor, but "twin" objects on other flores would do the same.
I inserted a scanned PDF xref and now I can't get it to plot in a viewport. Is there a way to make the inserted PDF opaque so that objects behind it don't show.
I have two PDFs slightly overlapped, and for some reason all of the areas that are transparent in the PDF print with grey outlines in a PDF, but not when sent to a hard copy printer.

I can draw the marquee squares or elipse. I can draw them and constrain them and reposition them.
What I cannot figure out is once I have drawn the shape, let go of the mouse and want to THEN go and change the size & shape of the marquee, how to do it. How do I make the top/bottom of a circular elipse change? And then bring a side in? Do I have to keep re-drawing until I am perfect?
I have some images with some very tough lighting. I think the images were shot in the wrong camera ISO settings. So most of the pictures have 4-5 people in them and it is there faces that have this HUGE amount of overexposure going on. How can I isolate their faces to work on the exposure/lighting/color correction for their heads? And then select inverse(?) and correct the rest of the area?

I am trying to draw a sun-like shape. I started with a star polygon and apply the Twist effect. That gets me pretty good arms on the sun, but I'd like for something a bit more flame-like, so I'd like to get the arms to now bend back in the opposite direction. Is there any way to use or modify the Twist effect so that I can apply it a second time but bend further out in the opposite direction? Or is there some other good way to get the rotation along all the arms.
