Creating new objects

Hey Forum.

Is it possible to Subtrak 2 objects to create a new object?

EX: I want to create a Fan house by drawing a box and then subtrak a cylinder.

Regards

Hi Lars,

No, I'm afraid you cannot do that kind of ("boolean operations on solids") modelling in Capture. You would need to create the fan house by using four "Arch" pieces or possibly the "Cylinder hull" shape.

Re: Creating new objects

In several projects I have to create objects such as tables, chairs, etc

I normally create the object and group all items together. Is there a way, in a future update, that I can save custom made objects so they can be used in other projects and always be in my library?

Re: Creating new objects

have you tried the extract function?

while working in a project you can select extract from the file menu, open another project, select any items existing there and drag and drop them in the current one! this way you can reuse anything you had created..

i hope this helps,
