Ok. So. I started to make my trek towards a 3D printer today by attempting to make a simple notepad holder in 123D design. I followed the technique that Ben used in this video and I discovered something different.
When I try to extrude the outer walls of the shape it simply makes one big box that swallows the bottom of the box. I can post my project file if nessesary. Will post video with problem.
Text is now available under smart primitives on the PC version. It does grab it from the internet and you have to be signed in but it's technically there.
How do you put Polylines around it?
Make the rectangles, then select the polylines control and click the 1st corner, then the second. you do this all around the outer shape and the inner shape and it makes the hollow part. Hope this helps.
thanks!
Great info Tech. I always made a second primitive and extruded it through the original primitive. I'll have to try this the next time i load 123d up. Thanks again for the tip.
