Creating a Model from Technical Drawings



  • Hopefully this may help someone looking to create models in MC from technical drawings.

    --
    If you are wanting create an item from technical drawings you can start with an object such as a cube.

    In this case I knew the length of the object to create was 288mm. Depth of 1.6mm. Height of 44mm. So that became my cube's dimensions.

    I then imported a png of the particular technical drawing I was working with.

    I set the cube to be transparent. (By setting the cube as a support.)

    I then scaled the drawing to match that of my cube.

    Then added the objects of the correct sizes and shapes to duplicate
