Thanks, I'll give that a try

PS Works perfectly.

Hi again,

After a few adjustments the radius in the "Follow Me" path results in the correct footprint of the roof. But Intersecting only works on the large rad section and the small rad section on the LH side. Can't figure out the cause since the intersect line shows around the RH smaller rad portion, too.

TIA

Thank you Anssi! One line did it.

I did and miraculously it had appeared.

Thank you very much, Gentlemen!

Hi all,

Next Newb question; importing the DXF files - to SUP 2015 - is a piece of cake, but how can one convert that import to a a face that can be extruded?
Probably has been covered and a tutorial posted, the question in that case is where?

TIA

HJ

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Attached are the two files

Getting90degConstruct shows the 90º arc (Follow Me path)
Getting90deg2 shows the result.

In the meantime I figured out that I can connect the end points to where they should be; easy if it's a simple shape like this one, a bit more work if the face/profile has a lot of points.

Regards

HJ

PS On another note; I would like to add my Sig, but can't find the sig box in the UCP. Any tips? Thanks!

Hi all.

Got with the program a week ago, other than the usual Newbie problems I have at least one unusual/unexpected "feature".
This happens in both SU 8 and SUP 2015.

Have a rectangular block with all three axis sitting at the origin point. To get a "Follow me" path I draw a 600mm line going Minus on the Blue axis starting at the Origin point, from the endpoint of that line I draw another 600mm line aligned with the Green axis (GL). Generate an arc starting at the origin point and the end point of GL. Bulge is unimportant. Click on the arc, call up entity info and set the radius to 600mm. then do the "Follow me".

Perfect shell except there is a slight gap at the top of the originating face and there is a gap at the bottom of the shell i.e. the shell is less than 90º.

WHY? or how do I check that the lines I draw are actually at a 90º angle?

TIA for your valuable help!
