I can’t believe it !!! Now that I see it, it looks soooooooo simple !!! I will try that right away !!!
But… Now that you “saved my life” with such a fast answer, let me please ask you one more thing…
In fact I wanted to cut all 4 edges the same way like these two, but didn’t know how to draw it by hand that it looks understandable…
So if you could show me that as well, I’d be really grateful !!!
Make one corner the way you want then use ctrl with the rotate tool to make copies on the other three corners.
I used inferencing to mark the center. And click drag to change the axis of the rotate tool.
But now the next problem…
I tried on this sketch to draw a corner as you did before you used the follow me tool. But that gives me just an error massage every time…
This is telling you that you are working too small.
SU has problems creating edges smaller than 1mm, so the segments of your curve would be smaller than that.
If you work larger it will work.
Tiny edges can exist but you need to make them bigger to start.
Just scale up by 10 or 100 and it will work.
This little gif should demonstrate it better.
The two Genii above me have answered your question.
You need to select all the geometry of your shape, right click and choose Make Component, then copy and scale up.
That’s one way to do it. Check to make sure the definition is scaled correctly. Right click on it and see if Scale Definition is available to be selected. If so, click on it.
Had you just made the original a component before copying and scaling the copy, there’d be no need to scale down or worry about the scale of the definition.
Ok, but the whole point of The Dave Method is you create the original component at the size you want, then make a copy of it, scale the copy up and edit the big copy, when you have finished editing you just delete the big one and all the edits are there in the original small one.
By the way, the Dave of The Dave Method is the very same Dave just above me.
I understand. Using component copy/scale there’s no need to worry about mistakes in re-scaling…
I’ll try that right away (but still keep the rescaled one as a component… just in case I mess up something again… lol)
