Re: kitchen work top or simple shelf The chopping board should work but when you make it bigger the 'rounded' corners aren't that well rounded. I created a table top like hansmex mentioned with a box object but I extended it to have real rounded corners. Here's how-to: Create a box 4cm high, 55cm deep, and 80cm wide. Create another box of 4cm high, 61cm deep, and 74cm wide. Move them on top of each other so you get a kind of cross with small cut out corners. Place a cylinder 4cm high and a diameter of 6cm on each corner. use the alignment tool to make it easier. If you group them you have your table/cabinet top. If you adjust the measurements: Make the width and height difference of the boxes the same as the cylinder diameter. To make it 'perfect': Do NOT set any textures! Select all parts and export them as an object. (Make sure they all have a height of 4cm and elevation 0) After import-furniture of your exported object you have a single object. Now you can set textures. The tops of the cylinders and the boxes are merged into a single 'top' property because the cylinder and box objects use that same property name. It also allows to rotate a texture with a wood-grain for the sides. This method also has the advantage that you can choose your own size that is the same when using the object AND you can choose which corners are rounded or not. For example only rounded at the front and not at the wall-side. Advanced extra: before importing the object edit the obj and mtl files that were created when you exported the parts. This way you can merge front, back, left, right, and cylinder into a single property 'sides'. The result would be that you can set textures to 'top', 'bottom' and 'sides'. If you wish you can also merge top and bottom into a single property. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
