Learning Outcomes<\/p>\n\n<\/header>\n

\n\nWhen you have completed this module, you will be able to:\n
    \n \t
  1. Describe how solid models are created by extrusion or revolving.<\/li>\n \t
  2. Apply the JOIN command to create a single 2D or 3D object from existing objects.<\/li>\n \t
  3. Apply the EXTRUDE, PRESSPULL, and REVOLVE commands to draw solid models.<\/li>\n \t
  4. Set the DELOBJ system variable to control objects used to create solid models.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Constructing Solid Models Without Using Solid Primitives<\/h1>\nConstructing most solid models using solid primitives would be to difficult and slow. It is much faster and simpler to construct most solid models using the EXTRUDE and\/or the REVOLVE commands.\n

    Extruding<\/h1>\nExtruding <\/em><\/span>involves drawing a closed object and, using the EXTRUDE or the PUSHPULL command, project it in the Z direction at a given distance. See Figure 18-1. The closed object can be a 2D polygon, a circle or an ellipse. Extruded solids can then be joined with the UNION command or subtracted using the SUBTRACT command to form the final solid model.\n

    Revolving<\/h1>\nNot all solid models can be extruded. A solid model that is symmetrical can be created by revolving <\/em><\/span>a closed object. See Figure 18-2. The closed 2D object can be a polygon, a circle or an ellipse. It is then revolved around an axis. The contour of the object will create the solid as it is revolved around the axis. It can be revolved any angle from 1 degree to 360 degrees.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_798\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"427\"]\"\" Figure 18-1

    WORK ALONG: Creating a Extruded Solid Model Using the EXTRUDE Command<\/h1>\n

    Step 1<\/h2>\nUsing the NEW command, start a new drawing using template: 3D Layout English<\/span>.\n

    Step 2<\/h2>\nSave and name the drawing: AutoCAD 3D Workalong 18-1<\/span>.\n

    Step 3<\/h2>\nSet the current visual style to 2D Wireframe, set the layer: Pline<\/span> as the current layer, the current view to SE Isometric, and the current UCS to World.\n

    Step 4<\/h2>\nDraw the top contour of the wireframe model only. Use the multiview drawing as a reference. (Figure Step 4A and 4B)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_798\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 4A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_798\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"315\"]\"\" Figure Step 4B[\/caption]\n

    Step 6<\/h2>\nEnter the DELOBJ system variable as shown below. Ensure that it is set to 0. Command: DELOBJ<\/strong>\n\nEnter new value for DELOBJ <1>: 0<\/strong>\n\nCommand:\n
    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>When the DELOBJ system variable is set to 0, the closed polyline that is used in the EXTRUDE and REVOLVE commands will be not be deleted.\n<\/strong><\/div>\n

    Step 7<\/h2>\nSet the system variable ISOLINES to 32, as shown below. Command: ISOLINES<\/strong>\n\nEnter new value for ISOLINES <4>: 32<\/strong>\n\nCommand:\n
    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>The ISOLINES system variable is used set the number of contour lines that will be displayed on a curved surface of the solid model.\n<\/strong><\/div>\n

    Step 8<\/h2>\nEnter the JOIN command, as shown below, to create a single 2D polyline from the 8 lines and arcs. (Figure Step 8)\n\nCommand: JOIN<\/strong>\n\nSelect source object or multiple objects to join at once:\n\n1 found\n\nSelect objects to join: 1 found, 2 total\n\nSelect objects to join: 1 found, 3 total\n\nSelect objects to join: 1 found, 4 total\n\nSelect objects to join: 1 found, 5 total\n\nSelect objects to join: 1 found, 6 total\n\nSelect objects to join: 1 found, 7 total\n\nSelect objects to join: 1 found, 8 total\n\nSelect objects to join:\n\n8 objects converted to 1 polyline\n\nCommand:\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_798\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]\"\" Figure Step 8[\/caption]\n\n
    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>Although the PEDIT command, that was taught earlier, can be used to join objects the JOIN command is much easier to use.\n<\/strong><\/div>\n

    Step 9<\/h2>\nClick the newly created pline and insure it is closed using the Properties window. (Figure Step 9)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_798\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"551\"]\"\" Figure Step 9[\/caption]\n

    Step 10<\/h2>\nUsing what you learned in the last two steps join the inside 4 lines and arcs to create on 2D polyline. Check to ensure it is closed using the Properties window. (Figure Step 10)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_798\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"298\"]\"\" Figure Step 10[\/caption]\n

    Step 11<\/h2>\nSet layer: Solid 3<\/span> as the current layer. Enter the EXTRUDE command, as shown below, to create the solid model.\n\nCommand: EXTRUDE<\/strong>\n\nCurrent wire frame density: ISOLINES=32\n\nSelect objects: 6 found\n\n(Select all of the objects in a window or pick then individually.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nSelect objects:\n\nSpecify height of extrusion or [Path]: -0.75<\/strong>\n\n(Use -0.75 since the extrusion in the negative Z direction.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nSpecify angle of taper for extrusion <0>:\n\n(Press Enter to select the default.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nCommand:\n

    Step 12<\/h2>\nTurn layer: Pline<\/span> off and your model should appear as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 12)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_798\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"282\"]\"\" Figure Step 12[\/caption]\n

    Step 13<\/h2>\nSet the current visual style to Realistic. (Figure Step 13)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_798\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"280\"]\"\" Figure Step 13[\/caption]\n\n
    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>You now have to subtract the inner solids from the overall solid to complete the model with its holes. To use the SUBTRACT command, first select the solid you want to subtract from, press Enter to change modes and then select the solids you want to subtract from it. In this model, it is easiest to subtract solids when the current visual style is set to 2D Wireframe. You may have to practice subtracting the solids a few times before you get good at doing it.\n<\/strong><\/div>\n

    Step 14<\/h2>\nSet the current visual style to 2D Wireframe. Enter the SUBTRACT command to subtract the five inner solids from the larger solid. (Figure Step 14)\n\n \n\n[caption id=\"attachment_798\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"231\"]\"\" Figure Step 14[\/caption]\n

    Step 15<\/h2>\nSet the current visual style to Realistic. Your model should now appear as shown in the figures. Using the ORBIT command, orbit the model to enure the holes go through the model.

      Learning Outcomes<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

      \n

      When you have completed this module, you will be able to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Describe how solid models are created by extrusion or revolving.<\/li>\n
      2. Apply the JOIN command to create a single 2D or 3D object from existing objects.<\/li>\n
      3. Apply the EXTRUDE, PRESSPULL, and REVOLVE commands to draw solid models.<\/li>\n
      4. Set the DELOBJ system variable to control objects used to create solid models.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Constructing Solid Models Without Using Solid Primitives<\/h1>\n

        Constructing most solid models using solid primitives would be to difficult and slow. It is much faster and simpler to construct most solid models using the EXTRUDE and\/or the REVOLVE commands.<\/p>\n

        Extruding<\/h1>\n

        Extruding <\/em><\/span>involves drawing a closed object and, using the EXTRUDE or the PUSHPULL command, project it in the Z direction at a given distance. See Figure 18-1. The closed object can be a 2D polygon, a circle or an ellipse. Extruded solids can then be joined with the UNION command or subtracted using the SUBTRACT command to form the final solid model.<\/p>\n

        Revolving<\/h1>\n

        Not all solid models can be extruded. A solid model that is symmetrical can be created by revolving <\/em><\/span>a closed object. See Figure 18-2. The closed 2D object can be a polygon, a circle or an ellipse. It is then revolved around an axis. The contour of the object will create the solid as it is revolved around the axis. It can be revolved any angle from 1 degree to 360 degrees.<\/p>\n

          On layer: Pline, draw the closed plines.<\/p>\n

          AUTHOR’S COMMENTS: <\/strong>I suggest that you construct the model in two parts. One extrusion and one revolution. UNION them together to form one solid model.<\/div>\n

          Step 4<\/h2>\n

          Use the UNION command to complete the solid model. When complete, the solid must be one object.<\/p>\n

          Step 5<\/h2>\n

          Turn layers: Construction<\/span> and Pline<\/span> off and set the current visual style to Realistic.<\/p>\n

          Step 6<\/h2>\n

          Set the Insertion Units, change the current UCS to World, and check the model with the key.<\/p>\n
