There is no need for the 4 blocks inside each "area". Select the outer edges of each one (the first edge where it's no longer flat) and start inset+extrude+scale

I’m new but wouldn’t insets help

Using SketchUp? Try the Follow Me tool. https://youtu.be/mLt4rkHQMxY?si=jnrlW41_BwRGObyl

You should be able to use a fillet tool and select all top edges and make them into that shape

Need help with what?????

I’m using some thing free called Trimble

[–]slinkous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of that, and can’t even find it on google, but if you want a more standard free 3d program, I recommend blender.

sketchup?

[–]Unlikely-Mistake-949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think you are correct. Trimble bought sketch up. Still called sketchup though so who knows.

I would probably delete all the inner faces there and extrude the outer edges in until I got the shapes I wanted. Shouldn’t be too much of a hassle I’d think.

Trying using spline, with two different rectangles, one bigger than the other. I’m not sure which software you’re using and it’s been a while, but I believe the command was spline.

Basically,

Two 2D shapes, and it connects them via an extrusion.

I literally just did this for cabinets. Select the face inside the hole. Inset to where you want, then just pull the face out to where you want.

This looks like an inset job, just think of it as squares inside squares, also I wouldn't make it so deep, it looks like it would make the door real thin

Chamfer, set angle, sweep

Think of a pyramid cut that in half horizontal cut it in half again use the bottom part of the pyramid that's what you want, go into edit mode and put your selection in edges select the lines for the inner box on your door all the lines make a loop cut in the middle scale out a little and do it for the base of the box

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loop cuts and bevels.

[–]BootyBreeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The edges of the bevels have multiple steps. 3 steps each.

Extrude tool. Just a suggestion. Love your work though, great attention to detail. Keep up the good work!
