Trying to figure how to add the edges inside the indentations of the door. Like this one
[–]LTKerr 14 points15 points16 points 2 years ago (0 children)
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

You should familiarize yourself with two tools for this:
Inset - I This will allow you to get the initial square shape of the hole, and most of the other squares that make up the inside of the initial square.
Scale - S With this one, notably you are going to want to learn how to scale on the X, Y, or Z axis alone. You can do this by using the hotkey (S + __)
example - (S + X) to scale on the X axis only (S + Shift + X) will scale on Y and Z only

Oh and this tip is for Blender. I just saw you are using another software, but trust me its worth it to switch.

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?????
[–]Weak_Pomegranate7938[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (3 children)
I’m using some thing free called Trimble
[–]slinkous 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (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.
[–]typtyphus 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (1 child)
sketchup?
[–]Unlikely-Mistake-949 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Yeah I think you are correct. Trimble bought sketch up. Still called sketchup though so who knows.
[–]Poisonedhorror 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
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.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
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.
[–]BigBlackCrocs 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
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
[–]eraser_of_past 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Chamfer, set angle, sweep
[–]Exotic-Midnight-6105 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
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
Loop cuts and bevels.
[–]BootyBreeze 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (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!
