I'm looking for 3D models or *solid* outlines of various sizes and shapes of structural steel and square and rectangular tube. Inch measurements preferred.
I've found some collections of outlines in DWG format but they're useless in trueSpace because they aren't solid, the lines and curves are all separate and on different layers so there's no way to extrude into 3D solids. trueSpace understands DWG layers, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to actually do anything with a DWG except for importing it to be looked at. I want to make a 3D model of the big plasma table for figuring out some elements of its design. Would save a ton of time if I could make a library of steel primitives to work with. Is there a way to take a multi-layer 2D DWG file and flatten it to a solid DXF, and select what's to be "inside" and "outside" so that for example an outline of a 4x4 tube with .25" thick wall becomes a 2D ring shape? If all it does is convert it to 2 solid line shapes, trueSpace can connect them with a new face then extrude to form a tube. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
