Mr. Daniel Floden 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 Hi and thank you guys for a good training session! I've got two questions: Firstly, is there any way de-coupling the various windows from the framework in order (for instance) to have the 3d-view in a separate monitor? Secondly, when designin a blade, the 2d blade features are still very important in order to relate it to old designs and in order to be able to do a 2d-drawing. What tools and functions are the best to relate the 3d generic blade to a 2d-plane (i.e developed view) RegardsDaniel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan Wunderlich 6 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 Hi Daniel, A short answer to your first question:You can simply right click on the title bar or the tab in central window of any component and choose top level to detach the window. You can alternatively click the square button in the title bar.After that, simply drag the window to the second screen. Your second question will be better answered by someone with more experience in blade modeling ;-) Cheers,Stefan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Mattia Brenner 6 Report post Posted October 21, 2013 Hi Daniel, in the blade object, instead of rendering the 3D surface, you can also switch to showing the 2D developed section. You find it in the display options of the blade, as shown in the attached screenshot. Additionally, you can create propeller drawings by dragging the blade into a 2D window, but I don't really have experience with that to tell you specifics. Cheers,Mattia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Daniel Floden 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 Thanks for the info guys, I'll try it out and get back with some more questions i guess ;) BRDaniel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Daniel Floden 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 Is there some tutorial on how to use the 2d-window for drawings and 2d-representation of a blade? Or for that matter showing any curves in the 2d-window. I can not find any way on how to show curves from an object in that view, I managed to drag and drop a curve but it will jsut show up as a line without any way of giving coordinates. I dont find any way of giving what plane I want to see either. How do I use the 2d window at all? BRDaniel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Claus Abt 14 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 HI DanielEspecially for the propeller there are a couple of views preconfigured. Drag and drop, set the scale and the view of the object. For more views, again drag and drop and set the new view (sections, table ...) CheersClaus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
