3D question

3D question

3D question

(OP)
Hello all,

I am working with Architectural Desktop 3.3 and have a quastion pertaining to a 3D object.  I have a panel that already has a hole in the edge 34mm deep and a face hole that is 34mm of the edge ajoining the two holes.  I was wondering if there is a command that I could use to shrinken the panel and the holes would move as well?

RE: 3D question

The most important thing is that the holes be dimensioned from the edges or otherwise tie your contraints for the holes from some aspect from those edges, such as collinear with an edge or some other way like that would be moving in the overall drawing.  Once they are located by design intent from those edges, once you move those edges by any way you want, the holes should move along with those edges, as long as those holes were built from your sketcher.  Even if you used regular AutoCad commands to build the holes, all is not lost, it would just mean thay you would have to pick everything about the holes including the dimensions to move along with your edges when you move the edges even at an angle if you want.
