    3DPoly advanced offset

    Hi everyone, I don't know if it's even achievable or not, but I thought I'd post it anyway. What I need is this : user inputs: Elevation difference Offset slope maximum elevation Offset a 3D polyline using the given elevation difference and slope (%)...
  2. Hello, I currently use a routine that offsets a line in both directions based on a specified distance in the routine. After we run the command we usually have to select the two offset lines and put them on a specific layer, in this case "Structure". I am trying to just add to the routine so the...
  3. What is the problem? It's not working when am offsetting its not coming, (setq acadObj (vlax-get-acad-object)) (setq doc (vla-get-ActiveDocument acadObj)) (setq ilyrc(getstring(strcat "\Specify insulation layer <" (vl-princ-to-string ilyr)"> : "))) (setq layers (vla-get-Layers doc)) (...
  4. I use vla-PlotToFile to plot dwg to pdf with acWindow plottype, but pdf is offset。 please help,thanks。 (defun c:myplot ( / ) (vl-load-com) (setq adoc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (setvar "CMDECHO" 0) (setvar "BLIPMODE" 0) (setvar "OSMODE" 0) ;(setvar "LAYOU...
  5. Good morning, how are you? I have a problem with a lisp that I was using since 2011. Until last week it was working normally, but this week lisp keeps returning this error: ** Error: no function definition: nil **. My autocad is 2016, it's on a laptop with windows 10. I tried some s...
  6. Hi Writers! here i am again with new question. I am looking for a lisp to Offset line by a selection set values. i really wanted to get an intersection point after offsetting so that i can draw circle at each intersection. but i have values till outer of circle, i know the radius...
  7. Hi, i'm looking for a lisp that will offset a line to a distance of 1.875 and change the color from blue to white. thanks.
  8. I am hoping this will be a simple fix, but searching for the answer has turned up nothing. If I offset a self-intersecting polyline, it trims the offset anywhere that it crosses the original polyline. I am looking for a way for the offset to continue through self intersections untrimmed. My hope is...
  9. Hi, I am an Electrical Engineer and I am drawing lighting plan on autocad. Can anybody do like this wiring lisp ?
  10. Hello everybody I do drawings that have to have call outs. However, sometimes the call out line crosses with lines of the drawing so every call out line has to have an offset of .025, this way, the line only touches the item im calling. Currently, I do an outside offset on the line both ways...
  11. My lisp program runs the offset command, then immediately uses entlast to get the newly created polyline and add it to a selection set. There is a bug using this method, though, since offset creates multiple entities any time the offset distance is large enough to make it collide with itself. I am t...
  12. I am so close to getting this code to perform but need some final touches and manipulaton.. Currently it offsets all text on a specific layer and copy's and moves it up "0.15" which is what we already have doing with another layer we use in our drawings. (we use this to add specific descriptions abo...
  13. I have a polyline, which is made of lines and arcs. One or more arc could have radius smaller than offset distance (offset direction to inside of arc). Basically autacad says "Cannot offset that object". In this case i must xplode polyline and offset other part of polyline without the problematic ar...
  14. 1st Post, woot woot. I searched through many of the existing forums but couldn't find one that addressed this issue... I work a lot with polylines, to create design contours. I usually have a contour at the bottom or top of a hill, then I use the 'offset' command to offset the line to conform...
  15. HI all, I'm trying to plot in model space and the printer is cutting off part of the drawing. I choose plot-->extents --> center the plot --> fit to paper. The x coord is always 0, however the y coord is always at .09280. I've tried adjusting the y to 0, and unchecking the plot, but the cutoff alwa...
  16. I really need a lisp to find the ends of the lines then offset from those ends by [.25] and insert a solid "donut" at the ends of a line or multiple lines. I have the donut lisp we are currently using as well as another lisp I found on the web that is verrrrrry close to what I am needing. See below...
  17. Hello all, I work primarily in the piping industry and we do not use Autocad 3D Plant because we aren't in the design industry but rather more in the maintenance part of it. That being said we do not have the piping slope hatching functionality. See Photo for slope hatching example. We use this...
  18. Hi, I have a drawing with lots of circles (all different sizes). I need to shrink all the circles by .1mm. I need an 'ugway' to help my autocad kung fu.
  19. Why cannot I offset this shape 1.0 mm towards outside? I have attached the original dwg file here. Thank you very much! cannot offset.dwg
  20. Hi, I'm having a problem with OSNAP and am not sure what I'm doing wrong. As you can see from the attached photo, I am using offset to create a parallel line to the one selected (the leftmost line) that I am trying to place tangent to the circle in the center. However, the tangent snap points (which...
  21. Hello, I have a Drawing in which I need to draw thousands of parallel lines (offset) on different distances. Is there anyway or Lisp Routine which can help me to Draw all the offsets at once for each line. see the screenshot below for reference. Thank You, Regards, Sidhu
  22. Just came across this neat little LISP routine. Works perfect for me and my guys because we insulated pipe and this eliminates having to click click click click to constantly offset lines both ways. (defun C:OFF2 (/ pickEnt pickObj offDist) (vl-load-com) (setvar "ErrNo" 0) (while (and (not (s...

    Rhino issue: solid modeling

    Hello! I'm a noob in rhino and I found some problems by making a polysurface solid: my problem is that I have two elements: a sphere and a twisted pyramid, joined by boolean union which I can't offset to add an internal thicken. when I do it (with "solid" option activated) it just creates a polys...
  24. Guys, I got this code, to do a multiple offset, it works good, but I need to do one complementation in that, the direction of final objects, the code doesn't allow you choose it, every time the code draw the offset line above of objects, It's possible fix it? Indicating the direction of end offs...
  25. I have a paper plan set of a sidewalk that contains several simple horizontal curves. I've managed to use the curve data to replicate the sidewalk centerline in my CAD file. The outside edge of the sidewalk is kind of a zig-zag polygon line. To locate change of direction corners in the zig-zag lin...
