    Posted: 21.Feb.2012 at 09:41
hi guys, 

I was working in CAD wire frame and I'm drawing a small plate 

230*60*15, I have drawn this in wire frame (see below) is there any way to turn this into a solid object or add edges to it, so it appears as 1 object?
Confused


Thanks for any help with this!

One draws the rectangle in 2D then using either EXTRUDE or PRESSPULL gives the object height.  It's not like you can draw the object in wireframe and magically turn it into a solid.

see, add edges to it, so it appears as 1 object

For the record I don't do 3D in CAD as of yet hence the question, although I do lots Of 3D work in CINEMA4D as its better with animations & sequences but you can draw Poly-lines/Splines and ‘magically’ make them into a solid, by adding outer layers/surfaces.

seems cad lacks this feature

Thanks anyway

Managed to work this out (for anyone interested)

Draw your wire frame box using the BOX command 

Specify first corner or
: pick a point
Specify other corner or [Cube/Length]: @230,60
Specify height or [2Point] <15.0000>: 15

After that simply use the HIDE command

Which will make your Frame appear to have surfaces


Thanks

Or draw it as I instructed you and use a 2Dwireframe visual style to view it with.
