ACADuser Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I was wondering. Making blocks to simulate (2d detailing) metal framed wall studs, I use a rectangle & 2 interior lines with a short dash line style. This works well but is there a way to add the punched flat oval or rectangle AND have it stretch line insulation does? The insulation maintains it's symmetry. Currently, I use several blocks at different lengths & I can stretch them a little without distorting the oval too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Instead of using several blocks and stretching them, build one extra tall stud out of 2 separate but overlapping closed polylines.... ...then simply trim to length using another polyline instead of stretching. Just group select the main 2, click polyline subtraction, then click the trimming piece... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Thanks for the lesson on pline subtraction. I suppose I could block the remaining objects so I can make fine adjustments to the length. Too bad we can not create the Insulation block though.
