Extruding your floor boundary
- We're starting another chapter now because we've got one more thing left to do in our 3dsMax scene and that is to extrude our 3D floor boundary polyline that we created in our auto CAD drawing. So what we're going to do is extrude this bounded polyline here, like so, there you go, layer 3D4, that's the one we need to extrude. And we need to extrude it downwards, Rather than upwards this time as well. That's really important but before we do that you must download the 3D ground floor dot Max file that is in the library for this particular chapter. The reason being is it's got all of the elements in it that we've created so far. For example, our internal walls and external walls and our openings, otherwise you will open up the wrong Max file and obviously you then won't be able to do what we're going to do next. So the idea is that we're going to extrude our floor slab using that 3D floor layer. Very easy to do.…
