Exploring basic modify commands
In this section, we will start with the basic modify operations for 3D modeling. These basic operations include changing the location of the bodies, changing their orientation, creating copies of the object, and scaling them. These basic operations are executed using the standard modify commands, such as move, copy, rotate, and scale, all of which will be discussed in this section, as well as their 3D modified versions. In addition to this, we will learn how to use the 3D Gizmo tool, which is a quick and intuitive way to perform the basic modify commands on 3D objects.
Using 2D modify commands with 3D objects
AutoCAD has a full set of modify commands. Details about these commands and their use with 2D shapes were discussed in detail in Chapter 3, Learning about Modify Commands. In this section, we will revisit some of these commands, which are as follows:
- The move and copy commands
- The mirror command
- The rotate command
- The scale...
