I would like to be able to draw in an isometric view.1. Lines having true lengths and change appropriately with view changes.2. Dimension in an isometric view.3. Fillet intersecting lines with radius correctly represented.4. Extrude profile along path in isometric view, without having to group selection of lines etc representing path, just having them selected.
I would like to draw 3d piping / tubing runs.
In Ashlar Vellum Solids one could draw a centre line path in isometric with scaled and correct dimensions, select the desired lines etc, "sweep profile along path" (diameter and wall thickness being entered in a popup menu) and the 3d run would then be generated, each individual part of the path able to be edited at will. This was really simple and easy... can VW (or even Mechanical) achieve this. Or does a complex VectorScript need to be written?
