Hi Guys,

 

can anyone tell is it possible to construct something like this, using just the base subassemblies?

Thanks for any ideas.

Is this a cross-section view or profile view?

Any more description of the end goal you're looking for?

Yes,

 

this is a section view, more to say a standard section view.

 

I want to build the slopes on layers in the red square.

Interesting... does it have to be "layered" like that or can it just follow the slopes?

Is this like a hollowed out subsurface?

It has to be layered like that and the layers should follow the slopes. I can cut the layers perpendicularly, but i was wondering if there is an option to build something like this 🙂

 

It's a construction on a airport. And is done like that in construction causes...

 

Thank You.

I've never done an assembly like that and not sure it would work, but it looks like you can stack Basic Lanes like this:

So just perpendicularly? No slopes? I've seen something like this on YT, I mean that cross section, done in Microstation InRoads. But never seen something like this in C3D. The layers are from the same material, but they have different thickness.

 

Thanks,

Matt

This?  The sloped ones are "ShapeTrapezoidal" with a slope of 0%, then change the inside and outside depths to what's needed, then tack on a BasicLane.

Could You please attach the *.dwg file in here?

Here is a DWG with just the assembly I created

OK, thank You very much.

 

Please look at the printscreen. It's a pity that it's impossible to build this shape in just one layer...

Thank you once more.
