Chapter 22: Editing and Visualizing 3D Solids
- Understand solid modeling. Solid modeling lets you build 3D models by creating and joining 3D shapes called solids. There are several built‐in solid shapes called primitives, and you can create others using the Extrude tool.
- Master It Name some of the built‐in solid primitives available in AutoCAD.
- Solution Box, Cylinder, Cone, Sphere, Pyramid, Wedge, Torus.
- Create solid forms. You can use Boolean operations to sculpt 3D solids into the shape you want. Two solids can be joined to form a more complex one, or you can remove one solid from another.
- Master It Name the three Boolean operations that you can use on solids.
- Solution Union, Subtract, Intersect.
- Create complex solids. Besides the primitives, you can create your own shapes based on 2D polylines.
- Master It Name three tools that let you convert...
