Hollow object in Working Model 2D 2005

Post by ravengo »

Does anybody knows how to create hollow object (drum) in Working Model app? I tried many things, without success.

From what I've seen, this is not possible. But I'd like to learn otherwise myself.

Instead of a fully closed drum, draw it with a slot running from the ID to the OD, like a letter "C" with a very small opening. Also, you can draw two halves of the drum and then attach them to get the whole. These shapes are usually drawn best in a CAD program and then exported as a DXF and imported into WM2D.

Make two 'C' shaped polygons and pin them together!

Ah yes, that link takes us back to when Ken was a regular here before all you righteous knumbskulls chased him away.
