westvale Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Hi Friends, I'm trying to create a hood fan like in the image below. First I tried with a molding polyline, but couldn't get it flat on the back where it would mount to the wall. Then I tried with a 3D solid making breaks and selecting lines and changing them to arcs. This worked really well, except I can't seem to curve both the front and sides, just one or the other. Does anyone know how to overcome this?

I use transform replicate to duplicate and move in case I need to redo later. Draw, side profile and set depth. Go to front elevation and draw a new solid that has the curve you want. Look at plan, change depth and position to overlap. Copy that and reflect about the original. Use subtract to get the curves on the side. Then if you need it hollow. Transform replicate, resize some percentage (.98?) Go back to front elevation and manuall pull the bottom of the smaller piece down, the top up. Subtract. Then add flat solids to in front elevation to fill in the space on the side, copy and reflect, then use union Here is final with Chloe hood next to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
