Start by selecting the bodies to subtract from, which is the side board. We can use the Subtract tool from the tools menu. However, our side board does not have them cut out yet. We can turn the front and back boards back on, and you’ll see the box joints appear to be complete. Hiding the other two bodies will allow us to Extrude the entire rectangle without selecting the different sketch profiles. Once complete, let’s hide the existing two bodies so we can Extrude this one out a quarter inch. Be sure to snap to the existing corner points. We’ll create a diagonal rectangle connecting the two boards from corner to corner. Remember, we can simply hover the mouse over the face and press the spacebar. Let’s start by sketching on the inside face of one of the notch cutouts. Now that our box joints exist on the Front and Back boards, we can leverage the existing geometry to quickly create the left and right boards. I’ll select the existing 3D body, the copy badge, then move this back 17.75”, leaving us with a total inside drawer depth of 17.5 inches. This will make it easier for us to copy and manage. We’ll want to use the Union tool to join these two 3D bodies. Once the mirror is complete, you’ll see that we have 2 different 3D bodies. Double-click the body and instead of a construction plane, we can use the right planar face as the mirror plane. We can now Mirror this 3D body to create the full width of the board. Notice how we were able to leverage copying and dimensions to quickly pattern this rectangle for the box joint cutouts.įrom a perspective, I’ll select each rectangle and Extrude this into the 3D body, which cuts this out of the body. We can repeat this process a second time to quickly create the last two rectangles. Select the arrow and move this one up an inch. This will allow us to perform a second copy including both rectangles. With the copied rectangle still selected, we can select the additional line segments of the first rectangle. Selecting the arrow will let us define the exact dimension of a half-inch, spacing this out a quarter inch.
Then, the trick is to select the directional arrow instead of dragging it. Notice with the rectangle still selected we can select the Copy Badge. 25” diagonal rectangle in the corner of the front board. To create the Box Joints, we’ll sketch directly on the surface of this board. Let’s make the width 8 inches and the height 3 inches. We’ll make the width half of the overall width, as we’re going to mirror the box joints. I’ll sketch a diagonal rectangle on the Front plane.
We’ll start by creating the front board shape, followed by sketching out the notches for the box joints. We’ll look at copying sketch objects, Revolve, Subtracting 3D bodies, and inserting this file into the day #8 desk file. I’m Kevin Kennedy, and today we’ll design a desk drawer with box joints. Welcome to Day #9 of Learn Shapr3D in 10 Days for Beginners.
