I need to create a 3D scaled drawing of a plastic extrusion. The drawing would be used to generate variations for different applications. The part shape is as shown:
Would Match Photo be the best approach?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
It would be difficult to use Match Photo - there aren’t any obviously rectangular lines in the photo from which to position the axes.
If you have the physical part, not just a photo, put the right hand cut out edge against a straight-edge, and take measurements parallel to that and at right angles to it, then use those dimensions to draw the part in 3D.
As John says, this isn’t a good candidate for Match Photo. It seems also to be a part that must have a reasonably tight fit to fit into place so you need the model to be far more accurate than what Match Photo would give you. Taking precise measurements is, I think, your only option.
It looks similar to the rear port cover on my monitor.
