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 primitive 3D solid commands that will be covered are as follows:

  • Creating Boxes
  • Creating Cylinders
  • Creating Cones
  • Creating Spheres
  • Creating Pyramids
  • Creating Wedges
  • Creating a Torus
  • Creating polysolids

Each command will be presented in detail, including the alternative options and methods included therein.
