Hi there, I'm an eng. student looking for some help, being pretty new to Autocad.
I'd like to know the process to produce a solid STL/obj/whatever model from DXF one.
Here it is a DXF file I use:
The file has two layers:
I managed to make the 3d model by creating a region of the whole dxf and then extruding it, however I have no clue on how should I make those bends.
My approach was to use subrtrac boolean operator between the two layers, but this approach does not seem to follow my hopes:
Here I produced some cuts-like on the paper sheet, but what I'm looking for are folds like these:
I'm not sure if this is achievable with ease, and/or if I'm following a wrong approach.
Hope I explained well what my problem is, feel free to ask me extra information if needed.๐
Use SLICE to cut the solid object along the red lines then use ROTATE3D to "bend" he pieces along the fold lines.
Please post the dwg file and I'll make a few bends. Are the bends al 90ยฐ? If not. please clarify.
You can use surface associativity to create these bends by lines and curve
See this YouTube tip
For surface modeling or send your file to try it
And check how to control verticies tomake the surface bend little bite
