More Questions from 3D Modeling Basics

• The extrude tool will extrude a 2-dimensional shape even if the corners are not closed.
• To create a hole through a 3-dimensional box the drafter can place a 3-dimensional cylinder into the box and subtract it.
• In 2-dimensional drafting we work on the X and Y axis. By adding the Z axis drafters can develop 3-dimensional models.
• UCS stands for Universal CAD Standards.
• Drafters using AutoCAD version 2007 and newer will want to use the workspace called 3D Modeling to create 3D models.
• AutoCAD is typical of parametric modeling programs.
• Complex 3-dimensional shapes can be made by combining different 3-D shapes with the union tool.
• A useful method for using the grid is to set it to Display Grid Beyond Limits.
• The union command only works on 2-dimensional objects.
