I had these round columns that I needed to foreshorten in detail views, and finding nothing out of the box to do it made groups consisting of detail lines and masking regions to get the job done - see attached.
What I really wanted was to make families that I could drag to resize and snap to the detail filled region no matter what size the column is, but I found Resize doesn't really work on anything you need it to work on, and couldn't find a way to simulate the effect of Resize with parameters that I could drag and snap to detail geometry.
Two questions:
1 Does anyone have an idea how I could make something with arcs or circles and other geometry that I can resize the whole thing proportionally by dragging?
2 Is there something I am missing that would make this excersize moot for this particular application?
Thanks,
Jim
