MindBender Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Good Afternoon Users! I ran into something interesting recently. I needed to create a concealed, angled, and twisting steel plate detail in 3D for a unique life size art project. Z-Axis: One tongue was angled at 3 degrees approaching the joint between facets/ The opposing tongue is angled at 18 degrees. X-Axis: these two tongues meet at 166 degrees from 0. Y-Axis: is perp to the 3 degrees of the Z-Axis Plates. Needless to say, my best description of the prescribed dual gusset plate. I see the geometry in my mind but there seems to be no quick way to create said object. Yikes! :-) An object that can rotate, add/subt handles, re-shape any edge, in ANY view.... Maybe 10X will have what I'm suggesting? An "Omni-Polyline Solid".... See Attachment Comments are welcome. Thanks!! Enjoy your Day!! doc00542820180301124456.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Try making it out of Primitive Solid Boxes and then cutting away what you don't want with other solids rotated and positioned as needed using the "Solid Subtraction Tool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindBender Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yeah.... was trying to avoid that. Thought about creating it in Sketchup but that just seems a bit .... shall we say.... treasonous, if you know what I mean!! LOLLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
