digitalcarbon Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 thanks to the people who made the ability to work and navigate in perspective possible. the feeling i get is that i am actually in the field building something we also need to develop a surfacing ability that is not controlled by the OIP but by the actual geometry we place on the drawing. this surfacing ability will allow one to control a 3d object (maybe on another layer??) as in...i draw a skate park in plan w/ correct geometry then specify radi & slopes and it somehow project directly on to the surface of the 3d object for review & editing surfaces are very important because a lot of time you don't know what the thickness should be but you do know where the surface should be Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 or rather the 2d geometry sticks to the surface of any 3d surface for direct editing. then, later, you go around and add thickness which would be varied Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 For that transition piece, I would look at using nurbs and the loft tool. Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 i would have to see that in action.. i made a loft layer Transition Concrete.vwx Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) No video, sorry. Create a 1degree Nurbs curve - vertex to vertex on your existing Create another along your new In the 3d Modelling toolset Loft - No Rail both Nurbs Curves. Produces 6 Nurbs surfaces Shell Surfaces (if desired) Add Solid Transition_Concrete.vwx Edited June 19, 2017 by bcd 2 Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 you are the master...way beyond my skill level...you should get a screen flow to record screen Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) one thing i am finding is that the 3d polys can be copied and turned into pads for site modification. just lower the pad by 0.02ft and it cuts my DTM to just below my concrete surface and yes the edges are touching and giving me error messages but it still seems to work Edited June 19, 2017 by digitalcarbon Quote Link to comment
