Wondering what the fastest way is to model if an object will fit in an elevator.

We build things too big for elevators on a job site occasionally.  Usually if there is an elevator needed we go out and get the dimensions for it and then guess if a larger item will fit diagonally floor to ceiling if necessary.  Is there a way to quickly check if an object modeled in 3d space will fit inside a 3d box modeled after an elevator?

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

Can you give me dimensions of the elevator door opening? I am guessing that is the constraining element. I would like to see if there is a way you could put a sphere or other shape around your desired part to see if it touches or intersects the door opening. I also imagine the depth of the elevator, width, and height would be helpful.

 

I would like to see if this is something to build for you. How heavy are these parts and how easy are they to move? Would that also be a factor?

My son recently moved to an apartment in a city.  He was concerned if the couch he had would fit on the elevator so that he could get it into his new apartment.  I created a solid model of the shape of the elevator's interior including the door opening (which turned out to be the limiting factor).  By working interactively in the front, top, and side views I could rotate a solid model of the couch to various orientations and visually check for interference.  I used a Wireframe visualstyle for the analysis.   To check for interference you can do a Boolean subtract of the elevator-void solid and the item to be loaded on the elevator (the couch).  Any solid left after the subtract is the volume of the interference.
