Vue - Primative objects and attribute changing - - Page 1 Page 3
- Step 8
- Lets get the legs organised first.
- (1) Select the leg
- (2) Copy/Paste
- (3) Rename the Leg toLeg2
- (4) Do Step (2 and 3) again to make another leg - Rename the last leg to Leg3
- You can aso use Menu/Edit/Copy/Paste
- Step 9
- Position two legs at the end of the long frame.
- Make sure you have the object position icon selected in the attribute pannel before typing in the new X value
- The reason the X values are slightly different is because we didn't have our camerea selected in the X coordinate back at step 2
- Step 10
- Lets position the short frame - It is at right angle to the long fram so we need to rotate and move it.
- The screen shot is taken from the final model as I forgot to get one for this step.
- Step( 11)
- Lets move the leg in the centre to the rear
- The New Y position is: -51.8
- The pic above shows the top view
- We can now make the legs into one unit - We group them - This makes our scenes easier to manage
- (1) Shift click on each of the three legs in the Scene Library.
- (2) Menu/Object/Group
- (3) Rename the group toLegs
- You can expands or collapse groups by clicking on the (+ -) sign next to the group name.
- Step 12
- Lets Position the Angle Frames
- Here is the details for the first one
- Note: The length (X) has been incresed to 20
- Step 12
- The second Angled Frame is similar except Roll (rotate) angle is minus 40.
- The length X Value is set to 20.
- Step 13
- Now lets group the frame - Select the parts, group them and rename the new group to frame
- Now we can move the whole frame up towards the top of the legs (just make sure you have the frame group selected before moving it.
- The Z value will be 54.3
