Hi

im using LT 2008.

im a drafter for construction. in my daly workflow im placing blocks in the corner and intersection of the walls.  most of the time block do not fit the the intersection or the corner since the different wall thikness .

for example ,  20cm wall intersecting with 40cm wall, so i dont have any choise than exploding the block and fine tune it manualy.

is there a way the block can fit itself automatically?

hope i explain myself well

(i would upload an image but i cant the upload button is not there or the site doesnt accept links for free hosting image services).

Thanks
Shay

Try using Dynamic Blocks rather than regular blocks.

Samifox-

Adding geometric and dimensional constraints is certainly the way to go on that, so now to resize the blocks you will not have to explode the blocks but will pull and push them to fit where ever
