New Member MartinK Posted May 5, 2018 New Member Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hello, I recently purchased the full version of 3D Coat Professional and am struggling with a matter. I've attached a 3ds Max image for illustration purposes. I want to create 2D planes that are a specific size in units and will be used as 2D dimension references. Just as an example, imagine a web design template in Photoshop that has set dimensions for you to work in. I have watched more tutorial videos than I would like to admit and still have not come to a solution. I don't want to use a thin Cube Primitive. It creates unnecessary geometry. I don't want to use a Cube Primitive and then delete faces. The 'Free Form Patch' only has thickness and doesn't let me specify the Width and Height. I have tried doing this with the Measure tool but it is not suitable for this task. I don't want to add a a single reference image that already has the planes drawn in. i. Is there something I am missing to easily create a 2D plane Primitive of a specific numerical size? I can do this in a matter of seconds in 3DS Max/Maya, but I've been stuck with this for days. ii. Additionally, is there a way I can set a numerical value to objects size in units after creation and not work with Scale? Thank you, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hi In a matter of seconds in 3DS Max/Maya and then import it to 3dcoat. That i think could be the fast way. Or create Primitives > FreeFormPatch with Thickness = 0.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
