Topics in this section

• Overview of Modifying 3D Objects
• Use Gizmos to Modify Objects

  Use gizmos to move, rotate, or scale objects and subobjects in a 3D view.

• Use Grips to Modify Solids and Surfaces

  Use grips to change the shape and size of solids and surfaces.

• Modify 3D Subobjects

  Modify the shape of a 3D solid or surface by editing its subobjects (faces, edges, and vertices).

• Work with Complex 3D Solids and Surfaces

  Modify composite solids that are created by a union, subtract, intersect, fillet, or chamfer process.

• Modify Properties of 3D Solid, Surface, and Mesh

  Modify 3D objects by changing their settings in the Properties palette.

• Modify Surfaces

  Reshape surfaces, and then analyze and rebuild the model if necessary to ensure quality and smoothness.

• Modify Mesh Objects

  Model mesh objects by changing smoothing levels, refining specific areas, or adding creases.
