In the end if I can figure this out I will be creating many, many different profiles in this manner so a solution that requires the least amount of monkeying around would be the best, but at this point anything would be a start! I do have Illustrator & Photoshop available to use as well if there is a different, easier way to do this involving those programs. Uploading pictures is a bit of a pain for me as the computer I am using is quite old and is actually not on the internet anymore (just a desktop that I solely use for this part time job). When trying to use either hatch or render I can open up the boxes, select what I would like to happen - but then nothing changes on my image, it is still the same as it was before I chose the command. Which command would be best to solve this? Render has the wood grain patters that I can see in the materials list that would be perfect to use, however I do not know how to use the render command. Hatch sounds like it is much easier to use but there is no wood grain hatch pattern available in (my version at least) of Autocad.
From messing around and trying to figure it out the last two days I have found the hatch & the render commands. I have limited experience with Autocad (only what I learned years ago in highschool & what I have done for them in the past - most of which has all be in 2D work). From there however they would like the profile to be finished in a wood grain texture. I understand how to make it either a flat shaded or wireframe shape - and the gouraud shaded image is actually the closest to what I am trying to achieve. (If this is not the best way to do this please correct me.) I can take the profiles I made in 2D and put them into 3D by joining them and then extruding them.
Now they would like to update their website and put on drawings that are in 3D. This is something I have done for years - all the features that I use are ones I am familiar with, just drawing lines, arcs, adding dimensions, etc. I work part time for a company putting simple 2D profiles (profiles of crown moulding, wood work decor) on their website. I am using a very old version of autocad - the 2000 edition, on a very old computer. so far I only have been finding more information, but no solution.
Hello - I am new here and have been looking at posts the past few days trying to find an answer to my problem.
