A small blue arrow indicates the chosen direction.Ħ)After extruding the new parts beyond the outer face, we are now ready to use the advanced flatten command.
as you can see here I have selected an edge for this. The text there will guide you through the process)ĥ)The first thing that the advanced extrude command asks for is a direction to extrude along. (it is important to pay close attention to the info bar at the bottom of the geometry window when using the advanced commands. We now inset the selected faces by about 70%.Ĥ)At this point we are now ready to use the advanced extrude command. Next we select the new faces that have been created. (this can also be done by pressing '0') You will automatically be switched to vertex mode, with the new verts selected.Ģ)We are now going to create new edges between these verts by using the connect command (can also be done by pressing 'c')ģ)Now switch to face mode by using the icon at the top or by pressing 'f'. We are going to cut the edges into 10 sections using the cut command. We are starting off with an irregular shape, could be an aircraft intake or something, but it will be an interesting vent when were done.ġ) Switch to edge mode by clicking on the appropriate icon at the top of the screen or by pressing 'e'. Probably the most useful of these is the advanced flatten command. This one demonstrates the use of several of the advanced commands which are accessed by right clicking on regular commands. Hope this helps, so you don't get all bent out of shape in making pipes. Keeping an eye on the number in the top left of the screen will allow you to bend the pipe to precision degree amounts. a small arrow will appear to indicate the direction.Īt this point the pipe will be able to be bent freely as you move the mouse. In this example ive used a vertex to set the bend direction. This can be done a number of ways from here, you can select a face, edge or vertex to do this. Next, select a point at the top end of the pipe, make sure its on the same edge as the first point was. Once selected, right click to advance to the next step.
The first thing the bend procedure requires is the rod center, seems to work well when you pick a point on the side of the bend. To start you will need a set up like this.Ĭreated by selecting the edges, cutting into 5 segments and connecting the loose verts. It demonstrates the use of the bend command.
