I am drawing someone's existing furniture to put into their new home design.

I would like to modify the "Home Gym Weights" Object to remove part of it - is this possible?

 

I am using Chief X9

 

Please let me now if anyone has any recommendations / solutions to this issue.

 

thanks,

Angela

To expand on what Robert is showing, I would recommend:

  • Dropping symbol into a blank plan
  • Open Symbol and turn Smoothing Angle up to 180
  • Use Delete Surface tool to delete unwanted surfaces one at a time (turning Smoothing Angle up makes this much quicker)
  • Click Tools>Symbol>Convert To Symbol

Hi there. I have opened it into a new plan. What is the smoothing angle?

Thank you for creating this - Can you save it in x9 though?

I can't seem to open it.

 

I apologize for ignoring the fact that you are on X9. Unfortunately, I can't save it as an X9 library item. However, by following Michael's instructions and using the Delete Surface too, you can quickly perform the operation yourself.

If you ever want to share symbols with people using older versions, just open a 3D view and Export as 3DS.  

 

Yes, or as a Collada file, etc. It would be nice if we could "save as" to older library formats.

The "Delete Surface" is blurred out?
