how can i move an edge ?

[maoz57125712]

i have a box and i want to connect the appear edge with the lower one,how can I do it?

Hi,

please show a screenshot and share the file

File > export > save as f3d on local drive  > attach it to the next post

its a simple box 

[davebYYPCU]

Simple box has 12 edges, which one do you want me to move?

[maoz57125712]

i want to connect the middle edges

[davebYYPCU]

Oh no, more than one, at the same time, or one at a time?

I want to grab the higher line and pull it to the lower one

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Can you hand sketch out your true Design Intent?

Can you post an image of something similar that already exists in the real world?

That’s better now there is just 4 on top and 4 on the bottom to choose from.  Don’t have to worry about which side ones to disappear.

Extrude a.triangle.

Might help......

Sort of a strange request but I did a video to demonstrate what I think you are describing.

Hi,

How should the body look after this process?

like this?

Yes, and No. the OP clearly isn't aware of what he's asking and that this is only a "strange request" if we consider traditional  CAD workflows.

In a mesh modeler, for example this is not only not a problem, it is a very common workflow to merge edges and vertices. This is also a common modeling technique when working with T-Splines.

[jhackney1972]

Just going on the fact he showed a solid modeled cube, no mention of T-Splines or Meshes, if so, I would have stayed away from the question entirely.

I don't think the OP is aware that working with solid models requires different workflows then modeling with meshes.

That is with "traditional" CAD workflows. There are tools being developed that throw a lot of the "stuffy traditional" workflows overboard and re-imagine modeling with NURBS 😉

I can send you a PM with a couple of links if you're interested.

[maoz57125712]

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted, I want to know how to do it so that I can apply this technique to design in the future, I apologize if it was not so clear
I would be very happy if you could show me how you did it?

[jhackney1972]

In the video I am using two unconstrained sketches to allow you to adjust the box by dragging any sketch line or point you desire.  I did apply horizontal and vertical constrains to the two sketches to maintain squareness.  You can remove these if you wish to drag the shape into something that does not have square edges. 

I will say, using unconstrained sketches in this manner is not a normal practice in solid modeling but if it is what you want, I will not argue.  The model I used in the video is attached.
