I'm hoping someone can help with this.
This is something I developed a few years back for kitchen cupboards and doors, which we cut via CNC, and I'm checking in now to see if there is another way to achieve the same outcome.
The image attached is representative of a kitchen door, which has a HEIGHT, WIDTH & THICKNESS. To date I have been using a polyline as a tracer so I can extract these 3 variables. As the polylines 'startpoint' stays the same no matter how I rotate the door I can always get those 3 variables from the polyline. 1-2 = THICKNESS, 2-3 = HEIGHT and 3-4 = WIDTH.
The issue is that if I want to change the size of the door model, I have to separately change the polyline, so I can't use MOVEFACE, MOVEEDGE as the means of editing.
I'm hoping there might be a way to extract this info consistently from the actual door object directly and eliminate the tracer. The trials I did originally failed when the object was rotated or mirrored and it would not maintain the 3 variables I needed.
Thanks in advance!
