I am new to 3D modelling, and I need to understand how to create a “stacked” object (a “sandwich” like) from several simple (more or less identical or similar) simple objects. Finally, I need to have the ability to 3D print or CNC each of simple objects, the compound is necessary for me for simulation purpose.
I will provide this example, to make clear what I need.
Put each item in its own folder. Then when you export as STL you can flip the option to “Save Each 1st-Level Item Separately”. That will produce a zip file with multiple STL files in it. I am not sure the best way to do that for DXF/SVG exports thought.
To produce the “same” object multiple times just select it and the use the option to “move/rotate” select the “copy” option and then just drag it up to where you want. If they object was in a folder it will produce a new folder for the copied object. You can repeat to make as many copies as you need.
I was able to draw my object, but I’m still away from the “output” stage. More to learn.
Now after I have my object “glued”, I have to de glue and put the pieces on a sheet of something.
