Skyfox Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hello, How can I make a cutout of a smaller rectangle from a bigger one. I am looking to a semilar command to CLIPSURFACE which I can use in 2D only. Can anyone help me? Kind Regards, MS Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Not sure exactly what your goal is, and I assume you mean "cube" instead of "rectangle", but there are a couple ways to do this. Here is one: 1) SELECT the object to be cut; 2) SHIFT SELECT the "cutter" object; 3) Go to the menu item MODEL>SUBTRACT SOLIDS.4) A dialog will ask you to choose (or verify) which object is being subtracted from, make (or leave) your choice and hit OK. Have fun :-) [Oh, PS: I reread your post. Are you really cutting "hybribs" or just simple extruded shapes? And by hybrids do you mean SYMBOLS and/or PlugIns? If so, then you may need to UNGROUP the objects first, which means they will lose their editable] fields... [ 01-09-2005, 10:10 AM: Message edited by: CipesDesign ] Quote Link to comment
Alexandre Villares Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 If you want to clip a Floor (or Column): 1- edit menu > cut the smaller retangle 2- enter the floor (double click it) 3- edit menu > paste in place 4- clip surface 5- exit the floor ([done] at the top right of the window) [ 01-13-2005, 04:30 PM: Message edited by: Alexandre B A Villares ] Quote Link to comment
