Diagonal halflap joint
-
Hi all
I am trying to figure out how to us push/pull on a diagonal layed out halflap joint.
it seems to me that push/pull won't work on anything but straight lines push/pulls.
So is there another way?
thanks gary

not sure what the problem is- You're not trying to use the pictured guidelines to create the edges, are you? Draw solid diagonal lines instead...
-
Yeah, I'm not sure either. Anyway if you want a pushpull along a line try this one. There is a "vector pushpull" tool which does exactly that.
-
WOW I don't know what was going on it wasn't working for me. yeah those diagonal lines were only a guide for the correct angle down across the complete fence for me to draw my lines to use push/pull on. I did redraw another post and tried the same angle and push/pull on and it worked...so i don't know what i was doing wrong?

Gary, were the pales in your first model groups or components? If they were and you didn't open them for editing, the diagonal lines wouldn't divide the faces of the pales and so Push/Pull wouldn't work.

Yes all the post were components. And i did open the first component and draw out my lines,
and this is were the problem is the half laps went straight across. is there a way to have them follow a angle instead of straight across?thanks gary

You can't if they are instances of the same component. You would need to use Make Unique to break their relationship to each other.
