Conversion between 2D and 3D
It is very common during the process of 3D modeling to break down the creative process into drawing 2D shapes (representing cross sections or bases), then extruding or revolving to create the 3D object. Another possible scenario is to have an entire 2D drawing that needs to be converted to a 3D model. Therefore, in this chapter, we will discuss the 2D-to-3D conversion commands.
In addition to that, the opposite scenario might be the case, where a 3D model is present, and we want to create a 2D shape from it. This task can easily be done using the Flatshot command or the Section Plane tool. Both of these command tools will also be demonstrated in detail in this chapter.
The following is the list of topics that will be discussed in this chapter:
- Using the Extrude command
- Using the Revolve command
- Using the Sweep command
- Using the Loft command
- Using the Presspull command
- Using the Flatshot command
- Using the Section Plane...
