Hi there,

Been using AutoCAD for a while, but never really done much with 3D... Now I need to !

I have a 3D object ... which I lofted between 2 shapes... resulting in an object that has 6 or so "sections" if you like. I want to do a few things... firstly alter the spacing on the "cross sections" in terms of the distance from each other I would like to reduce it so I can have about 15mm between each cross section. Then I want to remove the longitudinal lines that contain the cross sections... so I am just left with a series of plates or cross sections... I then need to export all those and nest them on a CNC mill...

I am guessing the next two steps are not that hard... but just need a bit of help... when I explode the object it breaks it into faces... longitudinally - which is something I do not want.

Many thanks for any help

Guy

You'll have to upload the drawing file so we can see what you are working with.

So you need to create 2D cross-sections of the object every 15mm?
