In this session, we showed how Working Planes can be used to model objects in the right place to start with. We also covered how to use the Extrude Along Path command to make footings and slab thickenings, and how to calculate their volume so that you know what the…
In this session, we reviewed the Screen Plane and Layer Plane, built a gutter and downspout—first, using extrusions and, then, using the Extrude Along Path command—and constructed a cone-shaped climbing gym, while experimenting with different methods and tools.
In this session, we demonstrated using the Extrude Along Path command in 3D, changing the insertion point and level of detail of a 3D symbol, and importing and modifying 3D objects from online.
In this session, we looked at how to join two hollow pipes together. This led us on to how to go back in history to edit a fillet or Shell solid. Finally, we looked at slabs.
In this session, we built a bandstand with a curving, oval-shaped roof. The project allowed us to review 3D modeling basics, working planes, the Project tool, Subdivision modeling, and the Bend Solid tool.
In this session, we modeled a metal bracket, discussed how to get the threaded fasteners that you need, showed some key features for changing the look of fences, and did a solar study of an arbor.
In this session, we covered using roof objects to create ceilings with various slopes and discussed creating textures for tile designs.
In this session, we covered how to map textures, edit textures, use the Extract tool to get better control over textures, and create textures.
In this session, we discussed how to go about modeling various objects in 3D, making the simplest shapes with extrusions and proceeding to increasingly more complicated shapes made from multiple extrusions, sweeps, Extrude Along Path, NURBS curves, and subdivision modeling.
