    • RE: Combining two 2D layouts into one 3D

      Thanks for the responses!

      Here are a couple of pics to try to explain:

      This is an RFZ studio design (I'm a professional acoustician, but typically outsource my CAD needs.)

      This is a shot from above. The bottom of the picture is the front wall.

      This is a profile view, where the left is the front wall.

      As you can see, the front wall is a complicated structure.

      Here is an attempt to combine the two after deleting a few lines:

      Doesn't work so well. 😉
      There are some interesting angles happening on that front wall that I'm just not sure I can get my head around.

      Thanks again!

    • Combining two 2D layouts into one 3D

      I'm designing an interior space with angled walls and an angled ceiling. I started with a 2D top view and laid out the four walls how I wanted them, then did a profile 2D view of the front wall and ceiling angled.
      Angling any walls in one layout effects how the two would combine, especially because the front wall is angled on two planes. I tried making them both 3D by push-pulling the walls up, as I would in any rectangular design, then tried combining and intersecting. This allows me to remove some lines and walls, but does not take into account angles properly, particularly on the front wall which not only angles inward on the left and right, but also angles inward toward the ceiling.
      Is there a way to take a 2D floor plan, and intelligently combine it with a 2D profile plan? Or is there a proper manual way of combining these that I am not doing?

      Thank you.
