For AutoCAD 2007 and newer, is “3D Modeling” the recommended workspace to create and edit 3D models (with relevant Ribbon panels and tools enabled by default)?

Introduction / Context:
AutoCAD workspaces determine which toolsets, panels, and defaults are visible. Since the mid-2000s, “3D Modeling” has been the go-to workspace for 3D work, exposing commands such as EXTRUDE, REVOLVE, SWEEP, 3DROTATE, and visual styles. This item checks familiarity with that convention.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Version is AutoCAD 2007 or newer.
• 3D Modeling workspace is available or can be restored.
• Users can switch workspaces and customize UI.

Concept / Approach:
Switching to 3D Modeling activates panels and tools most relevant to solid/surface modeling, reducing hunting for commands and enabling appropriate defaults.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Even if a different workspace is active, commands can be run from the command line, but 3D Modeling streamlines access and defaults.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Incorrect” contradicts common practice. Limits such as “only up to 2010,” UCSFOLLOW, or visual style conditions do not define workspace suitability.

Common Pitfalls:
Staying in a 2D workspace and assuming 3D tools are missing; forgetting that workspaces are customizable and may look different.

Final Answer:
Correct
