as requested on support…
I’d like to make this as a 3D project.
It will be necessary to simplify this geometry down to one glass, then duplicate so as to create the crossing but making the duplicate, to a separate layer comes first.
Make a new layer:
OK
Select everything:
copy-paste so as to make an in-register duplicate:
then move to the new layer:
then hide the layer:
Select everything:
Use Node Editing to delete one glass and its contents:
d
re-select
continuing until one arrives at:
Repeat for the other glass after showing the layer:
Probably it will be best to hide the layer which was just worked on:
Repeat the process:
If need be, edit to adjust geometry:
Until one arrives at:
Select and Ungroup Vectors:
Ungroup Vectors
Select only the outline:
Repeat for the other glass:
Select the outline of one glass and model in 3D:
Repeat for the other glass, adding a base height so as to make it seem to be in front:
Apply
If need be, adjust:
Duplicating and unioning and creating a base so that the glasses are not so hollow is left as an exercise for the reader.
