Boulder Model
Boulder Model
(OP)
I am trying to design the backyard of my new house and bought some software called Punch Master Landscape. I have at least average skill level in Acad, ProE and SW and can not figure out how to use Punch. Maybe I'm an idiot.
I decided to just use SW knowing that there will be some limitations.
What I'm after are some models of rocks/boulders which would be suitable for building a swimming pool waterfall.
Anyone know where I can get some?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

RE: Boulder Model
It seems to me that you will find, since you will be using Solidworks for your landscaping application, that it will behoove you to go ahead and model the stuff yourself. It's fun to experiment with new stuff like boulders and trees. (Oh well...there must be a tree or a bush.sldprt available)
Sounds like fun. I am in the midst of designing critter cages for the wifes pet gecko's and Euromastics...lizards of all sorts. I am using stock lumber mostly and texturing all of it in pine. Hope your project turns out great.

I did think about the revolve function but I thought the boulders would not look so good even with texture applied. I have never used the deform tool before. I will give it a try.
I sure will be glad when the search function is back running as it used to.

Make sure the Eng-Tips Forums option is selected.

Reason trumps all. And awe transcends reason.
RE: Boulder Model
CBL - Yes I did try the search function but didn't see anything. Did I miss something you know about?

Some people still don't know about it yet.
