Chapter 18 Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. Introduction to AutoCad 2009 CHAPTER 18 346 The Solid Editing tools The Solid Editing tools can be called from the Home/Solid Editing panel ( Fig. 18.1 ) or from the Solid Editing toolbar ( Fig. 18.2 ). E x a mples of the results of using some of the Solid Editing tools are shown in this chapter. These tools are of value if the design of a 3D solid model needs to be changed (edited), although some are useful for constructing parts of 3D solids which cannot easily be constructed using other tools. Fig. 18.1 The Home/ Solid Editing panel Fig. 18.2 The Solid Editing toolbar Fig. 18.3 First example – Extrude faces tool – fi rst stages Fig. 18.4 The Extrude faces tool from the Home / Solid Editing panel First example – Extrude faces tool ( Fig. 18.5 ) 1. Set ISOLINES to 24. 2. In the ViewCube / Right construct a cylinder of radius 30 and height 30 ( Fig. 18.3 ). 3. In the ViewCube / Front construct the pline shown in Fig. 18.3 . Mirror the pline to the other end of the cylinder. 4. In the ViewCube / Top move the pline to lie central to the cylinder. 5. Place the screen in the ViewCube / Isometric . 6. Click the Extrude faces tool icon in the Home / Solid Editing panel ( Fig. 18.4 ). The command line shows: Command: _solidedit Solids editing automatic checking: SOLIDCHECK ϭ 1 Enter a solids editing option [Face/Edge/Body/ Undo/eXit] Ͻ eXit Ͼ : _face Enter a face editing option [Extrude/Move/Rotate/Offset/Taper/Delete/Copy/ coLor/mAterial/Undo/eXit] Ͻ eXit Ͼ : _extrude Select faces or [Undo/Remove]: 2 faces found.

Editing 3D solid models CHAPTER 18 347 Remove faces or [Undo/Add/ALL]: pick 1 face found, 1 removed. Specify height of extrusion or [Path]: enter p right-click Select extrusion path: pick the path pline Solid validation started. Solid validation completed. Enter a face editing option [Extrude/Move/Rotate/ Offset/Taper/Delete/Copy/coLor/mAterial/Undo/ eXit] Ͻ eXit Ͼ : right-click Command: 7. Repeat the operation using the view at the other end of the cylinder. 8. Add lights and a material and r ender the 3D model ( Fig. 18.5 ). Fig. 18.5 First example – Extrude faces tool N o t e Note the prompt line which includes the statement SOLIDCHECK ؍ 1 . If the variable SOLIDCHECK is set on (to 1 ) the prompt lines include the lines SOLIDCHECK ؍ 1 , Solid validation started and Solid validation completed . If set to 0 these two lines do not show. Second example – Extrude faces tool ( Fig. 18.7 ) 1. Construct a hexagonal extrusion just 1 unit high in the ViewCube/Top . 2. Change to the ViewCube/Front and construct the curved pline ( Fig. 18.6) . 3. Back in the Top view, move the pline to lie central to the extrusion. 4. Place in the ViewCube/Isometric and extrude the top face of the extrusion along the path of the curved pline. 5. Add lighting and a material to the model and render ( Fig. 18.7 ). Fig. 18.6 Second example – Extrude faces tool – pline for path Fig. 18.7 Second example – Extrude faces tool N o t e This example shows that a face of a 3D solid model can be extruded along any suitable path curve. If the polygon on which the extrusion had been based had been turned into a region, no extrusion could have taken place. The polygon had to be extruded to give a face to a 3D solid. Third example – Move faces tool ( Fig. 18.8 ) 1. Construct the 3D solid drawing shown in the left-hand drawing of Fig. 18.8 from three boxes which have been united using the Union tool.
