Thread: How do you?

G'day Al,
Haven't worked that out yet either, ( sketchup novice) but I have a book I can send you on woodfired pizza ovens if you want it...I decided not to go ahead with one.....too much bloody wood,,,,so the book's yours if you want it.
Regards,
Noel

Cheers Noel.

Ill have a look at it if you dont mind.

Do you still have my address? If not Pm me and Ill send it.

I still need the problem solving in the above question though.

Al

Hi Al.
Is this what you are looking for? (See attached Sketchup file).
Not sure of thickness of flue or height.
Cheers, McFly

Perfic, how did you do it?

Al

Hey McFly,
That's grouse......love an explanaition!!

For Ozwinner.
PM the address again......I had a clean out.
Regards,
Noel

I drew a rectangle first (not positioned on top of the oven but next to it). I used the offset tool to create a smaller rectangle inside this. I then used the push/pull tool to extrude to whichever height you desire. This created the flue. I triple clicked to select all of the model and made it into a group. I then used the move tool to position it on top of the oven, using a corner point as the reference point.Once in position, the flue can be moved in a negative direction (down) on the blue axis. I selected the flue - looking from a front elevation view so when moved it would move along the blue axis - and typed a negative number to position it down into the top of the roof of the oven.
Hope this is as clear as mud.
McFly

See attached file for graphical explanation.

Next
Right click on the flue.
Select Intersect -> Intersect with model.

This forms the intersecting lines.
