Looking for a Broan Elite 64000 series range hood or similar

[Derek Krzanowski]

I am looking for a Broan Elite 64000 series stainless range hood or something that will look somewhat similar. The important thing is that I can make it 48" wide, 10" tall and close to 21" deep. As always, any help is greatly appreciated!

Derek,

Will this work?

[Derek Krzanowski]

You are the man! Thanks a ton!!

Kerry, I don't suppose you or someone else could help me out with one more thing. Maybe I should have posted this on it's own, but I've been trying to convert the cad file for my oven into a hsf but even though I get it into ecabs, it looks awful. I used the programs recommended in this forum, but I think my problem is not knowing enough about how to apply the textures to the 3d files. My original post is here : http://www.thermwood.com/forums/viewtop ... f=5&t=8352. Any help with it would be incredibly appreciated! thx again!

Dereck,

I got it to look all one color of metal but could not get the top controls to be black and could not get the glass to be transparent sorry. Hopefully Kerry will get this post and tell us both how to do multible textures.

Here is the oven.
You of course can open it in the Display Part Editor and right click on the seperate parts to change textures etc.

Kerry,

I am right clicking and nothing is happening. When I right click and then go to change the texture the whole oven changes.

What am I missing.

1) I got the cad drawing from the site and changed it to a stl file

2) I opened the stl file in the part editor right clicked on different parts and nothing

3) saved the oven while in the part editor. Opened the saved oven in the cabinet editor took it back to the part editor and still not able to change different parts of the oven.

Gary,

You must take the .dwg drawing you download from the GE site and open it in Intellicad then use the explode command. Sometimes you have to use explode twice to break the drawing into it's separate parts. You then have to rotate the drawing and select different parts of the drawing and save them each to a separate layer as a new drawing. Save this as .dxf. After you separate these parts you can open each of them in Accutrans 3D and save each layer as a different part converting them to .stl format. You can them open the .stl files in eCabinets Display Parts Editor and apply textures.

You can download my oven drawing and you will be able to right click on the parts and adjust textures. I broke the oven into eight different parts.

Thanks Kerry,


I don't need the oven now but it was just something I wanted to learn for the future.

Gary,

By separating the parts you can create models that do things like show the oven door open.

Hey Kerry,

It's getting close the lunch time here in Arkansas, can you go ahead and pop something in that oven.

[Derek Krzanowski]

Kerry, you are a god! Thanks so much!!

On a side note, how in the world did you learn so much about cad? Is it all self taught or did you take some classes? Maybe you were a cad designer in another life?

[Kerry Fullington]

Derek,

I know very little about CAD (I don't even know enough to be dangerous) I have just learned enough functions to get the parts etc. that I need for eCabinets. I would like to know more but I can't seem to steal enough time to study it.
