Here’s a short and snappy tip; you’ll need to be confident in 3D for this (it’s not a full working tutorial just a short precis of what you’ll need to do):<\/p>\n
How to draw a suspended stove<\/strong><\/p>\n You know the type, the lovely teardrop fireplaces that hang beautifully from the ceiling:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s how you do it:<\/p>\n 1. In the front view, draw half an ellipse (I used a full ellipse and trimmed it in half), a line and a locus as below:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Select the three objects and then Model>Sweep and click OK<\/p>\n 3. Then create a cube that will act as a cutting object to make the hole in the fireplace, select this and the above object and Model>Subtract Solids. Make sure the first object (and not the cube is selected) and click OK nb. You may have to set working plane to achieve this.<\/p>\n 4. Then assign a metallic texture to the object and render accordingly as the first image.<\/p>\n For 101 more Tips and Tricks like this, check out the Vectorworks: 101 Tips and Tricks e-book on Kindle\/Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a>
