Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 21, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 21, 2014 The file attached here was a quick attempt at the first type. Its Solid Subtractions so you can double click them to see the history of what I did. Basically a sphere, an offset smaller sphere to create the "mouth" and then another sphere, centered inside the larger first sphere to hollow it out fully. then just a sweep for the base. You could use a cylinder to slice out the inside as well for a different interior shape. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 For the first one: - draw a sphere of the required size. - use Split by Line in an elevation view to remove the open part. - shell the result. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 21, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 21, 2014 ^ Gah! Much easier. I always forget the "real" use of Shell Solid. Quote Link to comment

catfoo92 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 How do I actually make the base? I tried making seeing the vectorwork, but doesn't come out the shape. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Draw half the profile and use Sweep. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 24, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 24, 2014 You can double click the sweep in this version of the file to see how it was made: Quote Link to comment
