I am working on a parametric cell that will be inserted on my bridge model in OBM, my question is how can i put an angle constraint at the bottom of my cell so i can modify the skew of the abutment, i've put my constraints on the side of the cell then extruded it sidewards, is there another way to do this? I can put the angle constraints on the bottom before extruding it upwards but then i can't modify the shape on the top which can be done by putting the constraint sidewards.
Anyone here have an idea how to do this?
Hi Crisanto,
I added one video where you can see how you can cut your abutment after an angle.
You need to create a 2d shape on top view and put an angle parameter face of one fixed line.
I left down one photo where I tried to explain to you how you can do this thing.
Great insight! thanks Andrei, is it also possible to apply a slope on the top of the abutment? thank you.
With pleasure! Yes, you can. Take a look at the video and there I made for you 3 cases about how you can add a slope for your abutment. Down you find the cases explained from the video.
1.Chamfer ( you pick an edge and after you can change 2 values )
2.Taper face ( you pick a face and after you can change the angle for that face )
3.You can make a 2d parametric shape, and after you just need to cut your abutment and change the values for that cutting shape from variables.
Hello Andrei, may i know how did you record this video that you made? is there a particular software you used in recording this video? thanks mate.
Program that I used is: Snagit
It's a small, but very useful program.
