You can create three-dimensional solids with a rectangular profile from a new polyline that you draw or from an existing line, arc, polyline, or circle.
To create a polysolid without converting any entities
1 Do one of the following to choose Polysolid (
):
• On the ribbon, choose Draw 3D > Polysolid (in Draw 3D Solids).
• On the menu, choose Draw > 3D Solids > Polysolid.
• On the Draw 3D Solids toolbar, click the Polysolid tool.
• Type polysolid and then press Enter.
2 Select the start point of the polysolid.
3 Continue selecting points. You can choose Arc to create an arc segment. You can also choose Undo to erase the previous point.
4 Choose Height and specify the height of the polysolid. The default height is specified by the PSOLHEIGHT system variable.
5 Choose width and specify the width of the polysolid. The default height is specified by the PSOLWIDTH system variable.
6 Choose Justify to specify whether the width and height should be justified to the left, center, or right. Justification orientation is determined according to the direction of the first profile segment.
To create a polysolid from an existing entity
1 Do one of the following to choose Polysolid (
):
• On the ribbon, choose Draw 3D > Polysolid (in Draw 3D Solids).
• On the menu, choose Draw > 3D Solids > Polysolid.
• On the Draw 3D Solids toolbar, click the Polysolid tool.
• Type polysolid and then press Enter.
2 Choose Entity, then press Enter.
3 Select the entity you want to convert to a polysolid. You can select a line, arc, polyline, or circle.
4 Choose Height and specify the height of the polysolid. The default height is specified by the PSOLHEIGHT system variable.
5 Choose width and specify the width of the polysolid. The default height is specified by the PSOLWIDTH system variable.
6 Choose Justify to specify whether the width and height should be justified to the left, center, or right. Justification is determined according to the direction of the first profile segment.
