Use mesh models to provide the hiding, shading, and rendering capabilities
of a solid model without the physical properties such as mass, moments of
inertia, and so on.
Advantages of 3D Modeling
Modeling in 3D has several advantages. You can
â– View the model from any vantage point
â– Generate reliable standard and auxiliary 2D views automatically
â– Create sections and 2D drawings
â– Remove hidden lines and do realistic shading
â– Check interferences and perform engineering analysis
â– Add lighting and create realistic rendering
â– Navigate through the model
â– Use the model to create an animation
â– Extract manufacturing data

Create Solids and Surfaces from Lines and
Curves
Use lines and curves to extrude, sweep, loft, and revolve 3D solids, surfaces,
and NURBS surfaces.
Overview of Creating Solids and Surfaces
Understand the differences between creating solids and surfaces with the
EXTRUDE, SWEEP, LOFT, and REVOLVE commands.
