Solid Arcs

[CHE]

Yes! It's me again. This time I have a question about Solids under AutoCAD. Right now, I'm working in a 3D model of a house. I have several arcs and circular shapes (which I extruded from polylines). So I'm trying to make them look smooth and nice but I haven't been successful. I have tried to fix this by changing the Isolines parameters, but I still get these polygonal arcs and shapes. So I was wondering if anybody knows how to fix this problem. I'm using AutoCAD 2002 full version. Thank you guys.

Well. it seems that Facetres (value 10) fix that problem (I have the Isoline value set up to 50). I'll give it a try later on. I'm kind of interested in how this is going to work when I import my file into VIZ. I'll let y'all know..

Go to Tools, Option, Display.

 

There you can set the levels for Arc and Circle smoothness, Segments in a polyline curve, Rendered object smoothness and Contour lines per surface. Bump these levels up and then reset the shademode to see the changes.

 

However, whenever I import arcs from AutoCAD to VIZ I usually don't extrude them until I'm in VIZ. I usually have more control over them then. (Of course, I'm using VIZ 2.0)

using a REGEN command most probably, a great help but and take note that autocad is not totally designed for 3D modelling. try to use autodesk inventor or solidworks

If AutoCAD was not designed for 3D modeling, then why are there so many people using it?

not a very good post to introduce yourself to the forum.

 

first of all, the original question was six years old, so i'm guessing he doesn't really need your help anymore.

 

secondly, where do you get the idea that autocad is not designed for 3D modeling ?

 

do you even use it ? i'm guessing from your poor response, the answer is likely not. if so, then my advice is to read more posts and educate yourself before you make suggestions like that.

sorry if my experience was not good enough coz based on what I used before from AUTOCAD REL 10 up to REL 2000 way back 1996-2000 i personally trying to extrude a poyline in a spiral mode but it didnt work, i guess you can make it. and one more.,,,it so messy for me (well based on what i know if youre making a 3d design and using a PS & MS its so messy and I have to check the DIMLFAC just to make it sure that nobody's trying to make a CHEAT (dynamating the dimension) from the orginal dwg

 

thnx for your concern, expert

well it depends on what disciplined they used. for a simple floor plan design with matching HVAC,ELECTRICAL, ARCHI, STRUCTURAL etc etc etc etc etc LAY-OUT (thru layering) this is most widely used for construction design but when it comes to 3D (take note to my buddy expert) well you can ask him

 

 

HINDI DESIGN ANG AUTOCAD PARA SA 3D

 

and for my BUDDY EXPERT i have one question??? if you have 4 UNEQUAL SIDES (IRREGULAR SHAPES) how to get the center?????????

 

but if u forcing me to give u an answer ill try

 

thnx

Sorry kabayan, but I disagree, but that's my opinion. If you're not happy with CAD then so be it.

[cgnquema]

its ok ibat iba ang opinon ng tao pero kung masusubukan mo ang ibang software na talagang pang 3D magugulat matagal ako sa AUTOCAD kya nakita ko ang diperensya

 

thnx

Hey Kabayan,

 

I think you misunderstood. It is important that you speak english in this forum as I have posted out in the image. That is one of the guidelines here. It is not about seniority, it's about being able to understand you so that the experts can help.
