Subject: Creating extruded solids



You can create three-dimensional solids by extruding closed entities, such as polylines, polygons, circles, ellipses, closed splines, donuts, and regions. You can extrude the entity along a selected path, or you can specify its height and taper angle.

To create an extruded solid    

   1   Do one of the following to choose Extrude ():

   On the ribbon, choose Draw 3D > Extrude (in Draw 3D Solids).

   On the menu, choose Draw > 3D Solids > Extrude.

   On the Draw 3D Solids toolbar, click the Extrude tool.

   Type extrude and then press Enter.

   2   Select the entity to extrude.

If you want to create an extruded surface instead of a solid, choose Mode. If an open profile is selected, a surface is created even if Mode is set to Solid.

   3   Select the extrusion path, or specify the height.

 

Select the entity to extrude (A) and the extrusion path (B).

 

The resulting extruded
solid.
