dr0591 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm trying to create a podium with nice cove indentations at the corners -- like the first image below, only rounded. I thought I could do this using polyline subtraction, as shown in the second image (the pink is what I want to be subtracted). But there doesn't seem to be a way to accomplish this with the cylinder and dome shapes from the library. Any other suggestions for how to accomplish this?

I bet if you converted all poly solids into CONVERT TO SOLID, I think it will work, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr0591 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 That's the problem -- it won't let me do that. I used the Shapes library cylinder and dome shapes. Do you know how to create rounded 3D shapes from polylines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use those. Use the actual cylinder and sphere tools... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
