<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>®to change the color of edge <strong>and</strong> face subobjects or the material assigned to a face. The color ofa subobject primitive can also be changed, but not the color of its subobjects.PresspullThe PRESSPULL comm<strong>and</strong>allows any closed boundary to beextruded. The boundary can be a flatsurface, a closed polyl<strong>in</strong>e, a circle, ora region. The extrusion is alwaysapplied perpendicular to the plane ofFigure 28. The PRESSPULL comm<strong>and</strong> on the <strong>3D</strong> Make Controlthe boundary, but can be <strong>in</strong> the Panelpositive or negative direction. Whenapplied to the face of a solid, it is very similar to the Extrude Face option of the SOLIDEDITcomm<strong>and</strong>, though dynamic feedback is provided for the extrusion with PRESSPULL.Once the comm<strong>and</strong> is <strong>in</strong>itiated, you are prompted to pick <strong>in</strong>side of the bounded areas toextrude. Move the po<strong>in</strong>ter <strong>in</strong>side of a boundary <strong>and</strong> pick. Then, drag the boundary to a newlocation <strong>and</strong> pick or, if dynamic <strong>in</strong>put is on, enter the distance to extrude the face.NoteThe entire boundary must be visible on the screen, or the loop will not be found.ShellA shell is a solid that has been“hollowed out.” The Shell option ofthe SOLIDEDIT comm<strong>and</strong> creates ashell of the selected object us<strong>in</strong>g aFigure 29.

You are prompted to select the solid. Only one solid can be selected.After select<strong>in</strong>g the solid, you have the opportunity to remove faces. If you do not remove31
