DeveloSpec Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 i am using the barrell awning (from CA library) and need to REMOVE the suspension cables.. as shown in the image. Is there any way to do this.. and in general modify any other 3d object from the CA library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Open the canopy in a new plan, delete cables using the Delete Surface tool then convert to symbol. (Tools>Symbols>Convert to symbol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think it would be easier to just create a poly-line solid to emulate that object rather than to export that symbol and then import it into sketch up etc, alter it and then reimport. If there is a separate material input for just the cables you might set them to "opening, no material" which would exclude them in render views, editing out the lines using the "Edit Layout Tool" in terms of Vector Views on a layout, it is your choice to make.

DeveloSpec Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Sorry for the delay guys. @Chiefer.. thanks that works. @David, thanks for your suggestions. for this awning, they do not have a separate material for the cables. I might be better off creating my own with a polyline solid. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
