Need Help!- 3D wireframe creation

[brockadeau]

T-- I have the rectangle with the 5 spheres, but I can't seen to fillet them

[brockadeau]

And I'm trying in v 22

You must first Boolean add them to make them a single solid

[brockadeau]

Tjones-- I got it! Only problem is I think I must have drawn it in mm at home, because it is less than an inch long when imported at work, but it's not that hard to draw once you understand booleen a little. Thanks to your expert tutoring. Now I have a more simple question. I need to curve the face of the attached cabinet to the curve of the side view (i rotated the side view in the y axis). I need to cut out the rectangles along the curved face after the wood is bent-- thanks in advance-Jack

Here's the 3d item I created

First....you can scale your part by using the same translate feature. It has a scale that you can check and enter a 25.4 scale to get it up to size if needed.

Next....The easiest way is to create a solid from the contour section. Do this just like the box. Solids>Surface Creation>Planer Surface. Then Solids>Surface Creation> Extrude Surface. Create a solid that is large enough to cover the entire 2Dform.

Next you will use a nice feature of Bobcad.
Select the form and then go to menu Solid>Project curve to surface. Then you select the solid you just created and it will project the form to the curve.

tjones-- here is the dxf file of what I tried. It says it failed the attempt-- Jack

Try re-drawing the form. For some reason it will not allow me to do it either. At least not in V20...maybe V22 would....will try it.
