HI Guys, I am having a bit of an issue trying to create a rack that will match the profile of the gear I have created in ICad 10. Is their a way to use the rack feature and match it to teh gear I have already created ? or is it a case of drawing it by hand ? Thanks Ian

Having real issues trying to switch a text file to 3D. Importing it into ICAD fine, but then having issues extruding it ( cross section curves over lapping) have switched to ACIS as I have seen mentioned in other posts Can anyone recommend the best settings to get the file out of Illustrator, we are currently exporting as DXF. their are a number of settings that I belive could be tweaked, but I'm not sure which ones ! Thanks Ian

ah right, thanks for the info

I have selected the "Draw Part Edges" option. But when I produce a "realistic render" it does not show the image with the black lines on, as I would like Is there something I am missing ? Thanks Ian

Have been playing around for a while , trying different settings, but nothing is producing what i need. The image that is coming out looks prety much exactly how I want it, BUT the shadows are much too dark. Have tried altering a number of paramaters, but just can't seem to get it quite right - which way is the best to simply lighten the shadows, without majorly affecting the outcome ?

thanks

does anyone have any good source of free 3d model human models for use in projects ? preferably ones that can be modified thanks ian

found it - thanks

thanks for the feedback guys - i have looked in the bom for additional colums, but cant see anything at all realting to size - do i need to create a custom setting for the BOM ?

Hi Guys, Im working on IronCad v10 - is there a way to get the dimensions of my parts added to the BOM ? Would save me heaps of time ! Thanks Ian

You'll have to excuse me as I trained in I-Deas, so am still getting used to IronCad. I have created a green wood texture, by copying a stock texture, then browsing to teh relevant image (this is the only way i could see to do it) Now however I am unable to change the name / icon - can anyone give me an idea as to how to do this ??? thanks Ian
