Topics in this section

• Overview of Creating 3D Solids and Surfaces
• Create 3D Solid Primitives

  Start with standard shapes known as solid primitives to create boxes, cones, cylinders, spheres, tori (donuts), wedges, and pyramids.

• Create a Polysolid

  Use the same techniques you use to create polylines to create a polysolid object.

• Construct Solids and Surfaces from Lines and Curves

  Use existing lines and curves to define both the profile and path for the solid or surface.

• Create 3D Solids from Objects

  Convert existing objects to 3D solids.

• Create Surfaces from Objects

  Convert existing objects to surfaces.

• Combine or Slice 3D Objects

  Create new composite 3D objects or slice objects to divide them.

• Check 3D Models for Interferences

  Find areas where 3D solids or surfaces intersect or overlap.
