taoist Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 How does one apply/draw/show interior/exterior trim for doors and windows to show in 3D. When using OIP, and show in 3D, shows only square trim. Same for baseboard and crown moulding? Anyhow to's or videos on this subject? Can't figure it out. taoist Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi, The plug-in door and window objects have flat square-edged trim with both thickness and width parameters. Other profiles can be created using Extrude Along Path. This holds true for any casing as well as crown and base. Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 OK, great. How do you do use Extrude along path to create door & window trim? Can you do a step by step with screen shots? taoist Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Try this... http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/754/Creating+Molding+with+Extrude+Along+Path Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks for the reply! The video covers horizontal planes/ surfaces not vertical. Guess I will suggest to Tech Support a video on this. taoist Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Try it in a frontal view. It might work. I'm pretty sure it does in 2010 and 2011, but not totally sure about 2008... Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 I assume you mean #2 on the keyboard (front) or use the keyboard or rotate to get the correct face plane? At some point this year I will upgrade to 2011 as they have told me that if I do that, I will get 2012 free. Need to check to see if that is still the case. Really need to have multi core aboard. Should have been in 2011 release. taoist Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Right. #2 (or whichever view shows the door in elevation). Additionally I'm pretty sure that once created an EAP object can be rotated in any plane, therefore if you know its dimensions you could build it on the ground then go to a side view and rotate it 90?, then go to top/plan and rotate/move into proper location...

taoist Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Peter, Thanks I will give it a try and document the procedure. This needs/should be way easier than this. taoist Quote Link to comment
