gib65 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Is it possible to skew a 3D object along one axis? I think what I mean by 'skew' is pretty obvious, but just in case, I'm uploading this diagram: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorales02 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 maybe the stretch command, and just do a crossing window on the edge you want to move up or down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gib65 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 The stretch command seems to do nothing but move the object. Maybe I'm not doing the cross window correctly. What is a cross window and how do I do one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorales02 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 guess it doesnt work on 3d objects, just tried it on a box and it moved it like you said...let me see what else i can try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorales02 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Im assuming the object your trying to do it to is not as simple as the diagram on your first post...correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gib65 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 very correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorales02 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I cant seem to find any way to do it, but im sure there is. Seeing how I dont use 3D commands very often (never!) im not the best one to answer your question. Im sure someone will come along and give more insight to wether in can or cant be done... sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxwellEdison Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I've never seen a skew command for AutoCAD solids. What exactly are you trying to skew. Perhaps slicing a section off, rotating it, and unioning a filler piece will suffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgarjr Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Depends what type of object it is. If its like a simple 3d solid box, you can play around with its sub-objects (vertices, edge, face) and move them around. U rarely though have to mess around with its sub objects.
