Using the mirror tool makes you loose your selection. With my solution you stay in sketch mode and you keep the selected lines. I prefer to use this method in certain situations. And I need to hit M only.
Yes, forgot about moving gizmo. I think you are right, this could serve as a solution in majority of cases.
I guess being used to mirror tool in other CAD software it seems weird not to have it. LOL
Thank you @gex
While many people like to sketch in 3D view (myself included) many people sketch exclusively in 2D view (architects, engineers etc) and switching to 3D view each time would quickly become frustrating.
So apparently there are no more sketch planes, just sketches and if I have created a body from a sketch, that body is deleted whenever I try to delete the sketch. How do I disconnect the body from the sketch so I can delete the sketch and keep the body?
You have the option to use either .shapr or .x_t exports and I have done it both ways. The shapr format not only has sketches, but also the history with parameters. It also has any visualization color/materials that are generally worth keeping. For the most part, I would suggest using shapr files.
Hello,
I understand the importance of sketches in parametric history, but is there an option to switch them off or disconnect? For instance, I often use sketches to export .dxf for my plasma cutter, but before export I want to make 3d model to test that everything will work out.
Then when I transform (mostly rotate) those sketches to make them lay on XZ plane, also deform whole object. So the only way, which is really complicated, is to copy those objects, transform them, make plane and then project them on the plane, delete object delete plane and export sketches.
I'm trying to create an Experience Builder (EB) with some GP tool functionality, namely the Extract Data Task, that I have published as a web tool. Now my challenge is, that the tool in EB apparantly doesn't allow the user to draw a polygon and use as the AOI.
So my idea was to have a sketch layer, where the user can just draw a sketch, and then use that layer as the input AOI.. However, even though I add a sketch layer in the Web map, and it shows in the EB, I can't seem to actually do anything with it..??
Hi @LarsElmkr_Chwastek, the Sketch layer is not yet supported as data source so even though it displays in the map and Map Layers widget, it can't be used as input data to other widgets like Edit, Analysis. etc. The good news is that in the upcoming ArcGIS Online release (end of February), more interactive input methods are planned to be available in the Analysis widget, including end users drawing graphics like Polygon, Polyline, and Point as AOI.
Do you know when this will be available on Enterprise? We have most of our users on the Enterprise Portal and are right now bouncing off ArcGIS Online via collaboration, since the Portal is a bit behind Online functionality wise.
It creates a sketch plane on the surface of the body. You can hide the body, but the sketch plane still remains. You can also take and move that plane forward or backward as required. In my mind, it saves a step or two.
@welshsteve is correct. I had modified a sketch, created a body from it, carried out various chamfers that I wanted incorporated into a sketch before proceeding further. Obviously you have to be pretty sure that they are exactly as you want them before doing such a thing.
I've been wondering what the best way to copy a sketch from an old part to a new part is. I've had situations in the past where I wanted to copy a sketch of a detailed hole layout to another part and I've tried using a simple copy and paste but it doesn't keep all the dimensions exactly like the old sketch had. For example, I had a control panel layed out and one of the engineers wanted to add some holes to it for more components. Well, the panel I had layed out wasn't big enough to have the extra holes added to it while still being asthetically pleasing. So, I had to make a bigger panel and copy the sketch over to it. When I did this, it left out all the "strong" dimensions I had put into it plus many other little things which ended up costing me a lot of extra time to get it back into shape. Is there a better way to do this? If so, please let me know how I should do this. Your input is much appreciated.
Thanks, that method worked great. It seems to be the most organized way of doing it. One question I have is: What is the best way to accurately locate the old sketch onto the new part? My guess would be to use a point located in the exact center of the old sketch and also have a point on the new sketch that I can use to attach the old sketch to.
Don't be bound by 2D sketching, or rigid 3D modeling tools. Sketch like a designer in VR, with intuitive gestural design tools.You dream up ideas in 3D, and now you can capture those ideas in 3D, too.
Use precious time in the design process wisely, and get from idea to a high fidelity 3D concept in hours, not days.Iterate, get feedback, and represent every perspective in one collaborative 3D design studio.
Co-create, host reviews, and iterate in a real-time collab room, in VR or on screen.Get the right feedback from every stakeholder and make collaboration second-nature with a 3D design everyone can understand.
I had to get an instrument panel milled into a clay model, and I only had three hours to do it. I immediately jumped into Gravity Sketch and banged it out. I was able to hand over that same model to engineering and get it in the clay model so all the designers could look at it.
After the Flanders poppies have faded away, and the height of the California poppies has passed comes prime season for the most resilient of poppies, the Matilija poppy. These fried-egg poppies will bloom through the hottest days of summer with very little water.
This first piece is created over a page that was pre-painted with blue acrylic paint. The poppies started out with some fingerprinting using watercolor straight out of Blockx tubes ( the paint, when thinned down works like regular watercolor, but I love it most straight out of the tube when it is brilliant, creamy, and quite opaque.)
Someone asked on Instagram how I keep track of these happenings. I just add them to my calendar and if I get a break in the day or can move things around to make it work, I turn up. So go check details in the bio for both @drawingisfree_org and @pencils4tea and maybe we will draw together in a session soon!
Most years I post a few sketches of California poppies. I might have missed that season this year, but instead, I made two trips out to sketch these amazing red poppies with Nina and Uma. Below are three takes on the same subject.
I like switching up my book format once in a while to make me look at things from a different framing perspective. Do you change out your sketchbooks? or do you use a standardized-size of book for a long time ?
The San Miguel Church is said to be the oldest church in the USA. I eliminated a whole bunch of newish structures built too close to the building to try and imagine it as it was presented by every tour guide I heard while I sat there.
Just before I flew back home, I made a quick visit to the New Mexico Museum of Art, a building I have drawn so many times from the outside but never stepped into. This simple, peaceful sketch of a quiet inner courtyard was my very last sketch before I headed back home.
Hello. It's my first time using Revit so I'm a complete beginner so apologies in advance if this is a silly question. I'm following YouTube tutorials but this issue doesn't seem to be in line with any of the videos I'm watching.
I'm trying to build stairs by sketch since one wall is diagonal. I'm following the tutorials with the boundary line, drawing in the risers etc, but it always says "1 riser created" no matter how many I draw in. When I look at it in 3D view, it's completely flat, and when I tick to complete I get the error "Invalid sketch, can't create run by this sketch". The properties panel on the left seems to suggest the riser should be 192.5mm, and I'm drawing them at 1000mm spaces (it's for cinema seating), so I can't fathom what I'm doing wrong. There is also no option in the left panel to go from level 0 to level 1 - most things seem greyed out.
Thanks for your response. It's as if that works fine when I just use Stairs (see 'Cinema Stairs' attachment) but as soon as I click 'Create Sketch', it somehow forces it back to a different type of stair and the left panel is almost entirely greyed out ('Cinema Stairs 2' attachment). Stair by run works completely fine except it won't fit properly into an odd shaped room. Sorry if I'm missing something completely obvious.
By the look of it, you have one too many boundary lines (green) and no Stair Path. Replace the Boundary Line at end of the run with a Riser Line (blue) and then place a Stair Path from first to last Riser.
A biographical sketch (also referred to as biosketch) documents an individual's qualifications and experience for a specific role in a project.
NIH requires submission of a biosketch for each proposed senior/key personnel and other significant contributor on a grant application. Some funding opportunities or programs may also request biosketches for additional personnel (e.g., Participating Faculty Biosketch attachment for institutional training awards).
Applicants and recipients are required to submit biosketches
NIH staff and peer reviewers utilize the biosketch to ensure that individuals included on the applications are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research.
NIH biosketches must conform to a specific format. Applicants and recipients can use the provided format pages to prepare their biosketch attachments or can use SciENcv , a tool used to develop and automatically format biosketches according to NIH requirements.
