3D Symbol, with 2D embedded views... Help!


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am hoping to work on a project this coming weekend where I model some components, largely a battery, receiver and servo in 3D.

I would like to use the feature where I can give a 3D model a different graphic view in plan and elevation, rather than just use the 3D model view. I am especially thinking this will be usefull if I can model say a wheel, and when looking in plan view I can see a depiction of a 2D section through the wheel, without having to set up cutting planes.

This would really help my workflow, anyone got any ideas how to use this feature?

Appreciative thanks [as always]

Damian

NEW in VW's 2013, the Auto Hybrid command! Simply create any 3d object, then run the command and set some user defined "height of cut" and line style options, and Voila!

In prior versions: draw the 3d object, then draw the 2d object (over the 3d in plan view) then select both objects and run Create Symbol...
