Full Version: Boolean

Hi
I have these images and need to know a few things:
1- Screenshot_1, objects before clicking them
2- Screenshot_2, objects already joined
3- Screenshot_3, selected object
4- Screenshot_4, selected object and when clicking the "SubdivBeta9" image in MOI, "SubdivBeta9" appears already executed. I've managed to create this object, but when using the "sBridge" function, I can't get these two "red lines" to join together, forming the object's handle. What would be the correct process to achieve this?
Thank you in advance to anyone who answers.

Witth face on same plane you will obtain with SBridge only something like this!

So you must make something more in SubDModeling! ;)



Here with only copy : Move Faces & SBridge !




Then you can make your Bock in SubDModeling... with again Split + SBridge



So if you want to have the entiere bock in one pass
your cubic object must be a solid without internal face and better if all faces are less 6 edges!
Better less 5 !

Hi Booleano, if you still need help please post the .3dm file with your object in in it.

It is difficult to examine your object from a screenshot only.

Hi Pilou

I don't have SubDModeling, can you send it to me?

SubD Modeling inside Moi are the scripts of Max Smirnov https://moi3d.com/wiki/MaxScriptArchive
sSplit, sBridge, sSize + SubdD Beta 9 + ... Extrude etc
my ShortCuts are P, B, S, K, E with only these ones you can all modilized in SubD technic!

So you must have only polygons with less 6 edges
better is less 5 and solids !
sSplip is necessary else that will not work! ;)

Hi Booleano, your question was:

> object's handle. What would be the correct process to achieve this?

With your object like this:



If you want to make a result like this as you already have in the posted file:



You could get that by drawing in 2 lines in the side view like this:



Then select the object and run Boolean difference, using the lines as the cutting objects.

Delete these pieces:



Then select these for _sBridge:




Another way is you can select this face:



Run Transform > Rotate > Rotate Axis, click 2 points across the middle of the face for the rotation axis:



After you have placed the axis, type 45 and push Enter to rotate it by 45 degrees:



Repeat on the lower one but with negative 45 (-45) degrees.

Hi Pilou

Sorry, but I don't have the sSize script. Could you send it to me and explain what it does?

Thanks again.

---

Pretty sure its "sScale" you can find here:

http://moi3d.com/wiki/MaxScriptArchive

then how to use it:



You need to have box model which will still show points. Basically part of Max's SubDiv work back in the day....

---

Not really what you asked for but a fun connection!

The command is called "Wires"....

---

Yep I have made a mistake Burr is right!

But... sScale can resize the selected faces by their points! ;)

---

Hi BurrMan, could you send me that file? That way I'd understand it better. I'm Spanish. Thanks.

The original file written by max is here (Look for Wire name):

I am using a modified version by mkdm found here:

https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8301.27

The mkdm version allows to pre-select an alternate profile. If no profile selected, it just uses a circle....
