Hi GuysI've been using AutoCAD since 3.3 (still have it on my home computer) and 2007 on my work computer.
As most of my work is dimensioning the locations of holes in steel, I don't need the latest version.
The other day, I tried to show a complex roof in 3D.
After looking around for some tutorials I found the Extrude a polyline with a Taper angle to a height, then move the top face up was what I wanted.
So I created a new layer and traced around the building with a polyline making sure I closed it.
Then from the Modeling>Extrude I selected the Polyline.
I set the taper angle to 67.5 (it's a 22.5 degree roof).
The height to 500mm - It worked.
I selected an isometric view so I could see the roof in 3D
Then from the Solid Editing>Move Faces I selected the Top Face (checking that I only had the top face).
Set my base point then tried to set the second point but nothing happened.
After several attempts, I opened up a new drawing and tried with a simple layout - same result.
I then tried again with a rectangle - same again.
Below is a picture showing how far I can get.
All the tutorials just show click'n'drag to move the top face. I figure there must be a simple setting I don't know about.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
David
