Replying to Custom 3D Objects

How can you move the polygons? Like... they are laying flat, how can I stand them up on end or side etc..?

I want to create a "artistic wall" with a first nations design.  ovoid and u-shapes used to create the wall.

You have to use the symbol wizard ...

Have a look at this post ... http://softplan.com/...er-roof/?p=8039 ... this refers to trusses, but the principle is exactly the same.

Can you post an example of what you want to see.

 

You can EXTRUDE any shape into a 3D solid within Softplan, by drawing shapes and using BLOCK FORM POLYGONS and FORM SOLID POLYGON.

This is what Id like to create in 3D.

Fairly new to softplan, and would like to experiment a bit.

You can use AutoCAD  or Sketchup and use the resulting DWG or SKP files in the Softplan symbol set up. You can also build most this using Softplan solids to make 3D objects.

Here is a 3D peg wine rack I made in Autocad

You can create from solid, combine with existing symbols, create with SketchUp or download symbol from 3D Warehouse or other sites (they can de dowloaded and modified in SketchUp).

Is there anyway to create 3D objects yourself? other than using lines to make isometric drawings? Like a custom wine rack for example, with curves and lots of detail.
