2 position model

2 position model

2 position model

(OP)
I am using wildfire 2 and I want to model a part in two positions,flat and curved ,so that when I send the model to my customer,he has a choice of opening the model in either position.Does anyone know what I have to do to get this done?Thank you

RE: 2 position model

Is this a sheetmetal part?

RE: 2 position model

(OP)
It is a plastic part.I want it to show two state;flat and flexed.

RE: 2 position model

Familly tables...

Start with the flat part as the generic, then create a family table and apply the curve and switch it off in the instance.

Your customer can then open the single file and have either part open...or both...whatever!

RE: 2 position model

Heckler asked you if it is a sheet metal because you can convert the part into a sheetmetal IF your part has the same thickness. Then you have the option to show as flat and flexed.

RE: 2 position model

Hora is correct that is where my thought was going.  I did a ring tong that way.  I modeled flat and then added a bend.
