Solids Element Operation for a playground - slide ?

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 06:55:20 GMT

Hello everyone,
I am trying to create a slide for a playground, i use the mesh to create the bottom and then the wall tool to make the walls.
I want to cut the walls parallel to the slide so as there is always 50cm wall on the left and the right side while sliding.

I think I am stuck and the solution is right in front of me.
Any help appreciated

Why not use a complex profile for the slide section (that way you can profile the sides - give it variable thickness, etc.). Build it in plan then convert to a morph and tilt it into position.

Wendy:

Create a copy of the Mesh.
Elevate the copy 50 cm.
Use the Pet Palette to Offset All Edges so the Mesh extends beyond the outside faces of the walls.
SEO the Walls from the Mesh, with Subtraction with upward extrusion.
Put the SEO Mesh on a hidden layer.

I did that, used the beam to use the angle option, but since the slide is from several segments it tilts each one of them separately. How can I create it straight and tilt it to the right angle?
