Hi,

The easiest way is to use PRESSPULL command two times:

- first to create solid in TT shape with length=88,

- second to create cutouts in TT shape: You need to create auxiliary rectangle in right place - on TT "legs" (I used ALIGN command to move rectangle created above your 2D geometry to position in 3D) and then to PRESSPULL cutouts:

thanks heaps man helped me alot

i would be good if there was some sort of command to turn orthogonal drawing into 3d easily

In AutoCAD you have an easy option to turn 3D objects to 2D - with one command, but opposite way you have to work yourself (a little) 🙂

Its not as easy as you might think.  There is a lot of decision making in the process which is natural to you or I but difficult to implement for a computer, such as recognizing what consitutes a hole and how deep it is.  Thats why the "normal" work process is to start with the 3D model then extract 2D views from it to create cosntruction drawings.  When it comes time to make changes, the user updates the 3D content, with those changes then reflected automatically in the 2D views.
