ALIGN TO USEABLE


Recommended Posts

Does VW have any type of command that aligns the working planes to a surface , Similary to AutoCAD's Align to Face? We are haveing a problem Aligning 2 flanges on a water slide that are not inline w/ any set planes. We need to 1st align the 2 pcs on center, this is hard enough w/ no Center snap point on Cylinders. This would be simple in AutoCad w/ the USC system, But since VW hasn't relized what the definition of 3d is yet we are haveing no luck in understanding how to aline the working plane to a 3d face in true 3d space X,Y,and Z. Any help would be Appreciated. thanks

If the surface has points you can snap to (and it should), the Set Working Plane tool should work for what you need. Is this not working for you as you need it to?
