I fail to convert a DXF to a 3d file

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

My understanding is it may be that a future version of Carbide Create Pro will be able to do this sort of thing:

Affinity for all

Beyond the nerd-desire to make everything text/code-based, rather than GUI-based, what’s the goal?

I ask because we’re planning to elevate the 3D capabilities in Carbide Create Pro, and sweeps/revolves are part of that. We’re trying to take o…

Until features for this are put in place, you will need a 3D CAD tool such as:

Alibre Workshop CAD/CAM

or a 3D programming tool such as OpenSCAD, or a great deal of patience using Carbide Create:

Making a base for a model

Given a prototype base: [image] How to make it in Carbide Create? First, we have a pixel image with some dimensions: [F-86 base scan with measurements] We import that into Carbide Create: [image] using “Set Background”: [image] and adjust for size: [image] [image] It’s then a matter of drawing and toolpaths and so forth (we will try to do it w/o Create Pro, but will also show that). For reference, there is an overhead view as well: [DSC00036]

Didn’t we do this already?

In my downloads folder I have:
