Two sided level of split

Post by KerenzaCNC »

Trying to carve a two sided object but the level of the slpit between first and second side needs to be significantly off horizontal.
I cannot find how to do this.
Model is 100mm z height
The logical line to seperate the two sides would be 60mm z at one end and 32mm z at the other.
Is this possible? . . and if so, is the a tutorial that covers this aspect?
I tried to attach the file but it says "Error file too big"
Thank you

You can try adding a zero plane and tilting it using its properties. As Ohiolyons said, posting your model is always best.

Thank you.
I dont know how dropbox googledrive works.
I will look for info on zero plane.
found some stuff about it but so far nothing about tilting it.
No big deal. I might be a bit thick but I dont give up easy :)

Not saying this will solve your problem, but this is how you tilt or fade a zero plane.


select the Modeling tab

Add zero plane

select the zero plane

select the wrench, about have way down are your tilting and fading options.
