Mason Dixon Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I need to lengthen the piece on the right to fill in around the block on the left Quote
Rewind23 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Hey try extrude faces or move faces under MODIFY> solid editing Quote
nestly Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 You may simply be able to stretch it with a grip after using SubObject Selection (CTRL+Click) Quote
Mason Dixon Posted May 24, 2011 Author Posted May 24, 2011 Try: Move Faces. When I type command MOVE I don't see a faces option Hey try extrude faces or move faces under MODIFY> solid editing Didn't see extrude faces or move faces in the modify panel You may simply be able to stretch it with a grip after using SubObject Selection (CTRL+Click) This worked for me Quote
ReMark Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 You might benefit from pausing for a moment and familiarizing yourself with the Ribbon, Tabs and Panels in 2010. The Move Faces command is found on the Home Tab > Solids Editing panel on the drop-down menu opposite the icon for the Slice command. It is not found on the Modify panel nor is it an option when using AutoCAD's regular Move command. Quote
Mason Dixon Posted May 24, 2011 Author Posted May 24, 2011 don't know how i missed it, sitting right there in front of me...thanks Quote
drifter15 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Also try this keyboard shortcut type: solidedit > choose "Face" > choose "Offset Face" and select the face in the right and enter the offset distance, you can also choose "Extrude Face", but offset face works as well with curved faces. Quote
ReMark Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Offset Face? Are you sure that is a viable option in this instance? Quote
drifter15 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Offset Face? Are you sure that is a viable option in this instance? Yes, it works here! any one can try! If I was in his situation I will use extrude face, or offset face, both work the same, exetp extrude adds the option of taper extrude. The advantage of offset face is that you can use it for circular face. For example, You have a cylinder with outer diameter of 120 mm and you want the outer diameter to be 140 mm, choose solidedit> offset face> select outer face and enter value of 10 . The new diameter will be 140 mm. Quote
ReMark Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I'd be interested in seeing how you accomplish this. Could you post 1) the finished result and 2) a screen capture of your text window with the command sequence. Thanks. I always like learning new tricks. Quote

Check this sequence of images please first I created a cylinder with 120mm diameter. Type the command: solidedit> Face> Offset --> select the face > enter offset distance > enter Quote

drifter15 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I was referring to the original problem. nestly has provided a solution. Ah, I thought you were referring to the example of the cylinder! sorry my friend It is the same as nestly did ! Thanks nestly Quote
