The extrude command in AutoCAD is one of my favorite commands. It allows you to take almost any shape and make it 3D in just a couple of clicks. Well, there are actually a couple of hidden attributes of the extrude command that come in handy. These are the taper and path commands. Check out the video to see them in use.
This tutorial will allow you to turn almost any shape imaginable into a 3D object extremely easily. This command is a must for any AutoCADder.
Today, I have a video for you that follows on from the Polysolid Part I and Polysolid Part II videos. In this one we take an easily drawn 2D shape and convert it to a 3D polysolid using the polysolid command.
This tutorial should enable you to use 2D commands and make 3D objects, much like thickness and extrude.
This video is all about moving and positioning objects in a 3D space in AutoCAD. We also use the Union and Subtract command as well as an understanding of the UCS.
This 3D tutorial will allow to confidently move objects in 3D with accuracy and speed.
Above is another video in the series I am doing with the guys at Daily AutoCAD.
This one is about using the subtract and union command in AutoCAD 3D. You can also check out the original written tutorial at Daily AutoCAD – Union and Subtract Command.
Part II of the Polysolid and Revolve Command Video.
This video covers the revolve command in AutoCAD and how to use the basics. The revolve command will literally change how you draw in 3D. It makes things much easier.
Above is the first video about how to use the polysolid command in AutoCAD. The polysolid command can be used to make many shapes and figures. You can set width and height on a polyline which makes it extremely easy to draw many objects, for example, walls.
Watch it in Fullscreen for all its glory
The next part in the series is on the revolve command.
The first in a series of AutoCAD Video tutorials. This one details how to use the block command.
Watch it Fullscreen to see better!
Blocks are basically templates of objects for you to use and reuse. Don’t forget, to save a block for next time save it in a .dwt (template) file. For more on this stay tuned.
