Tutorial 4 — Advanced Exercises
Create 3D Effects
In this exercise, you learn to
Create a 3D parallel extrusion.
Use the Standard toolbar.
Use the 3D Effects toolbar.
While two-dimensional drawings are the basic building blocks of most
projects, you might need a three-dimensional view of a project. In
AutoSketch, you can simulate three-dimensional drawings through
parallel
and
perspective
extrusion.
3D parallel extrusion creates a copy of the selection set that you place in
the drawing. AutoSketch connects corresponding edges with lines or poly-
gons. You learn how to create a 3D parallel extrusion in this exercise.
3D perspective extrusion creates a scaled copy of the selection set. You
place the copy anywhere in the drawing, and AutoSketch connects the
corresponding edges using lines or polygons.
To apply parallel extrusion to an entity
1
On the File menu, click New. In the New dialog box, click Start a Drawing
Immediately, and then click OK.
Now, you reset the interface to make sure your settings match the
tutorial’s instructions.
