            <title>Cant make a true solid of revolution and 3D subtract it from another 3D shape</title>
            <link>http://www3.turbocadcommunity.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=&amp;comments_parentId=463</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Ive tried using both version 8 and version 9 to do this.  All I want to do is generate a 3D solid of revolution from an outline and subtract it from another shape that I have already generated.

When I use the Insert Surface of Revolution (the icon that looks like a wineglass)
the only thing that happens when I 3D subtract it is that it leaves a mark on the body I'm trying to "cut" using the solid of revolution as the "cutter".  It doesn't actually subtract the whole volume it just subtracts the surface.

any way to do this?  What's the earliest version that can handle this?]]></description>

            <title>How to perform 3D boolean solid operations programmatically?</title>
            <link>http://www3.turbocadcommunity.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=&amp;comments_parentId=458</link>
            <description><![CDATA[How to perform 3D boolean solid operations programmatically?

How to programatically create a 3D solid:
1) Addition
2) Subtraction
3) Intersection
4) Slice
??? using the managed TurboCAD 17 SDK?
How to trigger the creation of a solid subtraction, intersection, slicing?

What was found is that ???TCW80PARTREE??? is the name of the regen method that is used to create a node that is the result of a solid operation. The type of graphic object is polyline.

If the 3D objects are just added to the node created above without making any other modifications to the ???TCW80PARTREE??? graphic object the resulting geometry is a solid addition.

The SDK lacks of explicit interface for performing 3D solid operations.

Here is a sample code for 3D solid addition:
---
public enum EBooleanSolidOperation : int
{	Add
,	Subtract
,	Intersect
,	Slice
}

public static IMSIGX.IGraphic BooleanSolidOperation
	( IMSIGX.Graphics arrGraphics
	, IMSIGX.IGraphic graphicExtrude1
	, IMSIGX.IGraphic graphicExtrude2
	, bool bRemoveBaseGeometry
	, EBooleanSolidOperation operation
	)
{
	IMSIGX.IGraphic graphicSolidObject = null;
	if (arrGraphics == null || graphicExtrude1 == null || graphicExtrude2 == null)
	{
		throw new System.ArgumentNullException();
	}
	else
	{
		object objMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
		object objRegenType = "TCW80PARTREE";
		object objGraphType = IMSIGX.ImsiGraphicType.imsiPolyline;

		IMSIGX.IGraphic graphicBoolOpArg1 = bRemoveBaseGeometry ? graphicExtrude1 : graphicExtrude1.Duplicate();
		IMSIGX.IGraphic graphicBoolOpArg2 = bRemoveBaseGeometry ? graphicExtrude2 : graphicExtrude2.Duplicate();

		graphicSolidObject = arrGraphics.Add
			( ref objGraphType
			, ref objRegenType
			, ref objMissing
			, ref objMissing
			, ref objMissing
			, ref objMissing
			);

		IMSIGX.Graphics arrChildGraphicsParent1 = graphicBoolOpArg1.Parent as IMSIGX.Graphics;
		object objObjToRemoveIndex1 = graphicBoolOpArg1.Index;
		IMSIGX.IGraphic graphicBoolOpArg1Detached = arrChildGraphicsParent1.Remove(ref objObjToRemoveIndex1);
		graphicSolidObject.Graphics.AddGraphic(graphicBoolOpArg1, ref objMissing, ref objMissing);


		IMSIGX.Graphics arrChildGraphicsParent2 = graphicBoolOpArg2.Parent as IMSIGX.Graphics;
		object objObjToRemoveIndex2 = graphicBoolOpArg2.Index;
		IMSIGX.IGraphic graphicBoolOpArg2Detached = arrChildGraphicsParent2.Remove(ref objObjToRemoveIndex2);
		graphicSolidObject.Graphics.AddGraphic(graphicBoolOpArg2, ref objMissing, ref objMissing);

		object objCurrentView = arrChildGraphicsParent1.Application.ActiveDrawing.ActiveView;
		graphicSolidObject.Draw(ref objCurrentView);
	}

	return graphicSolidObject;
}

How to create a Subtraction, Intersection, Slice?

The enum parameter is currently unused since no way was found to set which solid 3D operation should be performed.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Hello there,
I would appreciate some advice  with my newly installed Turbocad 15 deluxe 2d/3d running under Vista. I can't find any way of operating the SNAP tool (which is greyed out )although I think it works partly using the Aperture cursor.  The relevent chapter in the user guide gives no further details .  Please help get me started on this.
Thanks in advance IA]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[G'day
is there a way to create circular symbol array? I am trying to arrange seating as a semi circle rather than a straight line, but have not found a way to do it. I know there is radial copy tool, but that tool doesn't help. 

Many thanks]]></description>

            <link>http://www3.turbocadcommunity.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=&amp;comments_parentId=443</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hello All

I have an old version of TurboCAD v7 which I obtained as a freebie in a computer magazine. I am having trouble installing it onto my system which has XP because of the following error

"Error:1322 A portion of the path exceeds the length allowed by the system" from the TurboCAD installer. 

I have a number of web pages that point to a fix but none exist. Does anyone have a copy of the following file 

v7.1 *.msi
ftp://ftp.imsisoft.com/turbocad/TurboCAD v7.1.zip 

Or does anyone know where I can download a copy, thank you

Regards
Gaetano]]></description>

I wonder if anyone can help me with this, I have recently bought Turbocad 15 deluxe 2d/3d and have never used a cad programe before, I have the list of symbols folders on the right of the screen but I can't find any way of opening them so I can drag and drop symbols into the drawing, I have read the relevent chapter in the user guide but can't seem to get anywhere.
Thanks in advance Jerry.]]></description>
