Sloping Unit

Post by leigh mills »

hi guys, how does everyone go about doing sloping units? do you do these? when you take a part into part editor for example the back, there is no tools in which you can use to put a degree on the line. is the only way to chamfer the part?

In Contour Mode of the Part Editor you can set Angle Snap to any degree that you need and lines will be drawn only in incremennts of the angle.

Leigh, go to search and look up "sloped roof cabinet" I think this is what you are talking about. I would have posted the link but I have not figured out how to do this. Maybe Dan or someone can post it.

How 'bout if I tell you how to post the link? :wink: Just click in the address bar of your browser and copy the URL (ctrl-c) to the clipboard. Then in your reply, ctrl-v will paste the URL.

If you want the URL to be hidden and display a text link, select the URL you just pasted and click the URL button above. Then you do a little editing--change the 1st occurance of ] to =. Go the the end of the URL, just before the next occurance of [ and enter ]text you want displayed.

You link, before posting should look like (spaces inserted so it will display text instead of a link):
[ URL = http://www.whatever.com]Text to display[ / URL]
