CraftyCat Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) I am trying to create a ramp using rectangles and project tools. The Project tool is not working for me. therefore is there an easier way to create ramp please?? for example shearing the angle o f a rectangle? Can we shear in VW?

grant_PD Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 straight ramp is just an extruded triangle from a side view? Curved ramp: draw it in plan, extrude (higher than needed), side view, use the slice tool to cut the desired angle. Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Also, try using the Multiple Extrude tool. Very good video tutorial below. 1 Quote Link to comment
CraftyCat Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thanks everyone and how would you add a railing to this ramp? Quote Link to comment
CraftyCat Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Does anyone ever create the vector in Illustrator then copy into VW or is this a definite no no? Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 you can bring in as a .dwg from illustrator. But honestly, 2d in VW is as fast as illustrator once you get the tool knowledge. Making that leap is paramount to accelerating your workflow. Quote Link to comment
