Creating Primitive 3D Shapes
AutoCAD features a variety of commands to create 3D solid objects. In this chapter, we will discover the first set of creation commands, which is a set of primitive 3D objects. The purpose of these commands is to provide a shortcut to creating primitive 3D shapes, and even if the desired model is a complex shape, they act like a starting point from which you can start modifying and adding details to create the desired shape.
The 3D primitives are a set of commands that can quickly create simple, basic 3D objects, such as a box, a sphere, or a pyramid. Among these, you can find the Polysolid command, which is a powerful tool that can be used to create 3D walls. In this chapter, each command will be presented in detail, including the alternative options and settings of each command.
The topics that will be covered in this chapter are as follows:
- Creating Boxes
- Creating Cylinders
- Creating Cones
