Woodhead Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 I'm mildly proficient in CAD and attempting to do something which may be a bit over my head. I work in the entertainment industry and I get 2D plans from promoters/venues/eventcompanies, etc....What I need to do is extrude these plan views so that I can place my sound, lighting and video gear into a 3D environment and show the client what the finished product will look like. Does anyone know of some existing resources that I can study to learn the issues with 2D to 3D extrusion? Any information will help. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Jeff Lietz Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Woodhead -- Sounds like we have the same job. Mind if I ask who you work for? As for your question, it's a fairly easy process to convert to 3D. Most any 2D object can be extruded by selecting the object and sipmly: CNTRL+SHIFT+E. You will then be asked to enter a Z height value. symbols can be extruded in the same fashion in the Organize-Edit Symbol pull down menu. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
