3D Polyline, then Rotate3D, then to Exagerate endpoints? |
|
|
Have a simple 3D Polyline, say a cut section off a mess, or even just say 3D
points that represent a Xsectional cut of a surface. Taken from "plan
view",
I can simply Rotate3D a copy of the object around the appropriate axis,
and whamo, I have a Xsection of my 3D Polyline, being and end view and
still in plan.
OK, now question.....
How "just using ACAD comands" can a user apply an appropriate
directional axis exageration to the endpoints of this 3D polyline??
Or even can I ??
I want to hold (now) the x factor, yet I would like the endpoints
to exagerate in the (now) Y direction, either up/down to show more
detail to my section line (3D Polyline).
Assume I would have to apply a plane reference through the 3dPolyline,
say an endpoint, yet lost on how to get any exageration in only one
direction.
I get TABSURF that creates a surface mesh of this end section, yet
I just want to exagerate endpoint directions of the object (was Z, now
the Y) since I used Rotate3D on a copy of the orig. object.
Would really appreciate any info...

If I understand you correctly, all you need to do is do an in place block of
the objects you want the exaggerate and change the Y value of the block in
the properties by 10x. If I missing something, try posting an example. |

You clearly understood me.
Never thought to make a block and work the values that way.
Was stuck on the idea of SurfTab variables to make up what
I needed in the appropriate direction.
Perfect!! Greatly appreciated.

Your welcome. Use to do that a lot when I was doing geotechnical
environmental work. Had to show contamination levels with an exaggeration
are it wasn't even noticeable. That's how I found that shortcut. |
