Displaying Mass Properties of 3D Solids and Regions TheGetMassPropertiescommand calculates and displays the mass properties of 3D solids and regions.
[Premium & Enterprise Plus] This chapter introduces you to creating 3D solid objects:
This section discusses:
Modifying Solids Using EntityGrips You use EntityGrips to drag defining points of solids to new positions (stretching), or to move, rotate, and scale solids.
Creating Flat Representations of 3D Solid Objects TheMakeFlatSnapshotcommand creates a flat representation of 3D solid objects and Regions, projected to the drawing's X-Y plane of the active Custom Coordinate System (CCS).
TheToruscommand creates a 3D solid torus. A torus is like a ring with a thickness. The torus is drawn parallel to the XY-plane of the coordinate system.
Use thePolySolidcommand to draw 3D solids in the shape of polygonal walls. PolySolids can contain straight and curved segments of a specified height and width.
Creating Wireframe Geometry from Other Entities TheConvertEdgescommand creates wireframe geometry from the edges of a specified 3D solid, surface, mesh, or region. You can extract one edge or all edges.
Chamfering Edges of 3D Solids Use theChamferEdgescommand to create bevelled edges on 3D solids. You can chamfer specified edges or all edges of a specified face.
Creating 2D Entities from Solid Faces and Surfaces TheOffsetEdgescommand creates 2D entities from the boundary of a 3D solid or surface. The resulting entities are closed polylines or splines located on the same plane as the specified boundary.
Unifying 3D Solids or Regions TheUnioncommand creates a composite region or solid by addition.
Viewing and Modifying Solid Properties Use thePropertiespalette to view and modify solid properties.
3D Modeling Command Reference [Premium & Enterprise Plus]
Creating 3D Solids by Lofting Between 2D Entities TheLoftcommand lets you create a new solid object or surface by specifying a series of cross sections.
Intersecting 3D Solids or Regions TheIntersectcommand creates regions or 3D solids from the intersection regions or of 3D solids.
