[anne-ology]

   curiously wondering why you deleted the message to which I was
replying???;
  to make what point???

   The initial messager was interested in knowing how to create a 3D
drawing of interlocking tubes;
  that can be easily be done by hand; even if it's done to
architectural scale.

You disregard the point, that Draw is a tool for construction of vector
graphics. It is not a tool for painting. So do not blame Draw for not been
able to do, for which it is not designed.

Hi :)
I had a good run with Inkscape for a while.  Again it's vector graphics
rather than 3d modelling.  It was a bit mind-warping at first because it's
so different from Gimp/Photoshop.

For 3d how about "Sketch-up";
https://www.sketchup.com/

It's not OpenSource afaik but the free version is pretty good and kinda
intuitive(ish).  I suspect the paid vedsion is better but the free one did
everything needed.
Regards from
a Tom :)

Hi all,

I've never used Draw up to now, but I got a task and thought I could do it
with that. I am reading and viewing tutorials but did not find the method
for the following: how to overlap, combine, or be it called something else,
two objects.

I mean for example: how can I draw a tube that is pushed into a ring. Ok, I
could do it by drawing two tubes, one is above, the other is below the
ring, but can it be done in a simpler and cleverer way?

Thanks: Albert

Hi Albert,

Thank you, Regina! I am experimenting.


Draw has a lot of features. In case you get stuck, simple ask. Here are 
lot of users with ideas.


 In the meantime I found freeCAD

but it is not meant to my level of knowledge.


Here an idea: Draw a ring. That is in Basis Shapes. Draw a rectangle as 
"tube" in the desired length. Bring it in front of the ring and move it 
so, that is covers only one side of the ring, but does not reach to the 
opposite side of the ring. Copy the rectangle to clipboard. Select 
rectangle and ring together, right-click. From this context menu use 
item Shapes > Subtract. Now you have cut a part of the ring, so that the 
gap nicely fits to the "tube"-rectangle. Paste clipboard to draw the 
"tube"-rectangle again. Move the rectangle so that it covers both sides 
of the ring. Send rectangle behind the ring. Mark both and group it. Now 
you can rotate and move the drawing.


Kind regard
Regina

That would be possible in 3D and Draw is able to have true 3D objects. 
But the UI is so bad, that I do not recommend it for beginners in Draw.


You will likely need to make a "fake" 2D drawing.


Ok, I could do it by drawing two tubes, one is above, the other is below
the ring, but can it be done in a simpler and cleverer way?


I would draw one tube and do not use a closed ring, but an open one, 
which touches the tube at its open part and lays in front of the tube 
at the opposite side.


Of cause you can build union, combination, or group of objects. But it 
will not be possible, that one part of an object is in front and one 
part is behind another object in 2D.
