Topics in this section

• Overview of 3D Modeling
• Create Solids and Surfaces from Lines and Curves

  Use lines and curves to extrude, sweep, loft, and revolve 3D solids, surfaces, and NURBS surfaces.

• Create Solids

  Create 3D solids from primitives or by combining or extending existing objects.

• Create Surfaces

  Create procedural surfaces and NURBS surfaces from curves or by combining or extending existing surfaces.

• Create Meshes

  Create meshes from primitive forms or by filling between points on other objects.

• Create Wireframe Models

  A wireframe model is an edge or skeletal representation of a real-world 3D object using lines and curves.

• Add 3D Thickness to Objects

  Use the thickness property to give objects a 3D appearance.
