Hi Dom,
LOL – I think we both started with 3DC around the same time… I remember your posts from years ago… Looks like you became the expert and I took a vacation…

Thanks for the response – hmm – I am not sure I’m on the same page… I see what you saying – I think – and – I’ll give it a try…
Big picture – I need a large plate of – in my case – steel… Let’s say 10 feet wide – 8 feet high – and .2 thick… What I am really trying to achieve is to give this plate a symetrical arc on top – while maintaining the .2 thickness…
Is that what your example is doing ???
Regards,
Scott

All,
All – probably a basic question… How do I get the bevel of an extrude to work in one plane only ? For example – I have a cube – flatten it a thickness of .2… Then do an extrude on one of the thin surfaces – the bevel function then makes it narrower and thinner at the same time… I only want the extrude to become narrower – I want to maintain that .2 thickness throughout several planned extrudes… I did read somewhere about locking the other axis to restrict movement – but – I haven’t been able to get it to work…
As always – any help appreciated…

Do you want to do this:
[pre class=’ip-ubbcode-code-pre’]
| |
| |
| |
| |
[/pre]
with each | of .2?
Then, starting from:
[pre class=’ip-ubbcode-code-pre’]
| |
[/pre]
1) Extrude with bevel=-x and thickness 0 (you make an inset)
2) Extrude with bevel=0 and thickness .2
… and you get this
[pre class=’ip-ubbcode-code-pre’]

| |
[/pre]
