Watch it in Fullscreen HD for all its glory.

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.

Watch it in Fullscreen HD for all its glory.

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.
