Summary

In this chapter, the modify commands used for editing 3D solid objects were discussed in detail, starting with the basic commands (including move, copy, mirror, and scale) that are used in 2D drafting and can also be used with 3D objects, but with limitations. 3D versions of these commands were also introduced, which are easier and quicker when used with 3D objects, in addition to removing the limitations of the basic ones.

After this, Boolean operations (union, subtract, and intersect) were discussed in detail, with examples provided for each operation, followed by three groups of editing commands. The first group covered solid modifications, including the slice and Thicken commands, the second group covered the commands that specialize in editing faces, and the final group covered edges.

After going through this chapter, you will be able to modify 3D drawings using complex features. This chapter will also help you to add details to the 3D objects using AutoCAD.
