Before the evolution of computer-aided design (CAD) technology, drawings made on paper could be drawn and viewed only from two directions, the X-axis and the Y-axis. Since the third direction, the ...

part 1 of this 2-part series. Using AutoCAD’s Section Plane, you can section 3D models by a user-defined cutting plane. This works with solids, surfaces, meshes, regions and point clouds. You have ...

Solid modeling is a type of 3D computer modeling in which Euclidean math is used to represent objects with properties of solids, such as mass and moment of inertia. Unlike other 3D modeling techniques ...

Solids are the most realistic type of AutoCAD models because they have mass under their surfaces. Consequently, you can cut holes in them and add to them using techniques similar to those used in ...

Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...
