Faouweb Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Hi, How can I rotate the Gizmo in AutoCAD 3D in order to rotate a part as shown in these picture: I have tried UCS : ZA - Face - View... but i did not succeed Thank you Quote
rvpas Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Hi John Just right click on gizmo and select personalized gizmo now select orign, x et y axis of edge By Pascal Quote
danellis Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Do you have to use the gizmo? Might it be easier to use ROTATE3D with a reference or 3DALIGN? dJE Quote

ReMark Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Your beams are overlapping in the corners. Shouldn't at least two of them (opposite sides) be coped? Quote
Faouweb Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 Is there any tool to cut beams? i have used extrusion and boolean to cut some parts but i have to finish the work. I know in AutoCAD Plant 3D there is a nice tool to do it but now i'm working with MEP 2011. Quote
ReMark Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I have no knowledge of MEP. I could do it in plain AutoCAD using an extruded polyline and the SLICE command with SURFACE option. I'm guessing then that your two angles on top has one punching through the other as well and you have them extended in the corners right into the beams too. Is that correct? Quote

ReMark Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 It's a start. How important are these types of details to what your are actually doing with this drawing? Is steel framing the focus of this drawing? Quote
Faouweb Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 Yes it important it's a support for Piping. Quote
ReMark Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Is there a tank or another piece of equipment going on that structure? How were you planning to secure the piping to the structure? Those piers look exceptionally high. Why is that? Quote
rvpas Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Hi, You can also use interfere checking for some steel frame intersection Home Tab/Solid Editing panel/Interference Checking Dont forget to uncheck delete interference object to keep it to substract after. Bye Quote
