<strong>3D</strong> <strong>Visualization</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Solid</strong> <strong>Primitive</strong> <strong>Conceptual</strong> Model<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>AutoCAD</strong>®Learn<strong>in</strong>g ObjectivesAfter complet<strong>in</strong>g this course, you will be able to:● Underst<strong>and</strong> the <strong>3D</strong> Model<strong>in</strong>g workspace <strong>and</strong> us<strong>in</strong>g the Dashboard.● Display <strong>3D</strong> objects from preset isometric viewpo<strong>in</strong>ts.● Display <strong>3D</strong> objects from any desired viewpo<strong>in</strong>t.● Use the <strong>3D</strong>ORBIT comm<strong>and</strong> to dynamically rotate the display of a <strong>3D</strong> model.● Set a visual style current.● Construct <strong>3D</strong> solid primitives.● Modify solids us<strong>in</strong>g Grip-edit<strong>in</strong>g.● Extrude the surface of a solid us<strong>in</strong>g the PRESSPULL comm<strong>and</strong>.● “Hollow out” a solid us<strong>in</strong>g the SHELL comm<strong>and</strong>.● Create complex solids us<strong>in</strong>g the UNION, SUBRACT, <strong>and</strong> INTERSECT comm<strong>and</strong>.● Describe the function of the world <strong>and</strong> user coord<strong>in</strong>ate systems.● Move the user coord<strong>in</strong>ate system to any surface.● Save <strong>and</strong> manage user coord<strong>in</strong>ate systems.The use of three-dimensional (<strong>3D</strong>) draw<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> design as a tool is becom<strong>in</strong>g moreprevalent throughout <strong>in</strong>dustry. Companies are discover<strong>in</strong>g the benefits of <strong>3D</strong> model<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>design, visualization, test<strong>in</strong>g, analysis, manufactur<strong>in</strong>g, assembly, <strong>and</strong> market<strong>in</strong>g. Threedimensionalmodels also form the basis of computer animations, architectural walkthroughs,<strong>and</strong> virtual worlds used with virtual reality systems. Drafters who can design objects, build<strong>in</strong>gs,<strong>and</strong> “worlds” <strong>in</strong> <strong>3D</strong> are <strong>in</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> for a wide variety of positions, both <strong>in</strong>side <strong>and</strong> outside of thetraditional draft<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> design discipl<strong>in</strong>es.This course provides an <strong>in</strong>troduction to several aspects of <strong>3D</strong> draw<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> visualization. Tobe effective <strong>in</strong> creat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>3D</strong> objects, you must first have good <strong>3D</strong> visualization skills,<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the ability to see an object <strong>in</strong> three dimensions <strong>and</strong> to visualize it rotat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> space.Once these concepts are understood you can beg<strong>in</strong> master<strong>in</strong>g the basic tools of solid model<strong>in</strong>g:<strong>AutoCAD</strong>’s solid primitive comm<strong>and</strong>s. These tools are truly the “build<strong>in</strong>g blocks” to be<strong>in</strong>g ableto construct any object <strong>in</strong> <strong>3D</strong> <strong>and</strong> prepare you for entry <strong>in</strong>to an excit<strong>in</strong>g aspect of graphiccommunication.3
