ABSTRACT

The aims of the chapter are:

To demonstrate how 3D models can be saved as blocks for insertion into other drawings via the DesignCenter.

To show how a library of 3D models in the form of blocks can be constructed to enable the models to be inserted into other drawings.

To give examples of the use of the tools from the Home/Modify panel:

3D Array – Rectangular and Polar 3D arrays.

3D Mirror.

3D Rotate.

To give examples of the use of the Helix tool.

To give an example of construction involving Dynamic Input.

To show how to obtain different views of 3D models in 3D space using the View/Views/3D Manager and the ViewCube

To give simple examples of surfaces using Extrude.
