Explore how to change and create visual styles for 3D models in AutoCAD, switching among wireframe, shaded, and sketchy modes, and applying or deleting custom visual styles.

Create a cylinder in the 3d modeling workspace by defining the base center, radius or diameter, and height, using 3-point or elliptical options.

Create a sphere in AutoCAD 3D by defining the center point and radius or diameter, or with two or three points, using the modern workspace.

Learn to use the extrude tool to add height to 2d shapes, turning closed sketches into solids and open sketches into surfaces, with regions and taper for cylinders.

Use the press pull tool to quickly extrude solid shapes, create holes, and add or remove material to edit 3D models.

Create a lofted solid in AutoCAD 3D by selecting three circular cross sections, defining coordinates at the origin, and adjusting draft angles, normals, and surface quality.

Use AutoCAD's 3d mirror tool to mirror a 3d object. Define the plane with three points or align to the yz plane.

Learn to convert a solid into a thin-walled hollow object with the shell tool in AutoCAD 3D. Select bases to remove and set shell thickness, with five-unit and two-unit examples.

Use the line tool and 3D align in AutoCAD 3D to align objects by specifying a base, a second, and three destination points. Copy options preserve the source while aligning.

Learn to apply chamfer to edges in a solid in AutoCAD 3D mastery course, selecting edges, defining chamfer distance, and confirming changes with enter.

Convert solid bodies to surfaces and back in AutoCAD 3D, and use the thicken tool to create solids from surfaces, demonstrated on a cylinder and a pyramid.

Learn to create and manipulate a section plane in AutoCAD 3D, adjust its position, angle, and size, and use live section to reveal internal geometry and volume cuts.

Sketch a profile with horizontal and vertical lines, set an axis for revolution, and revolve the sketch 360 degrees to form a 3d solid, then apply a sweep and arcs.

Engineer a six-sided allen key in AutoCAD 3D by constructing polygons and circles with defined centers and radii, then align, extrude, and union into a single solid.

Learn to create and edit section views in a 3D AutoCAD model, place and adjust section planes, modify the scale, and manage labels and visual styles.

Learn to annotate AutoCAD drawings by adding and editing dimensions and text, adjusting dimension styles, creating isometric views, center lines, and preparing layouts for plotting to PDF.

Master mesh geometry by dividing a model into parts, selecting faces and directions, and converting between mesh, solid, and surface for precise 3D design.

Explore mesh primitives in AutoCAD 3D, creating cones, cylinders, pyramids, torus, and spheres, adjusting center points, dimensions, and visual styles to master 3D modeling.

Learn to create mesh surfaces in AutoCAD by matching four edges, forming a surface between circles, and sweeping a curve with a direction vector, then extracting faces.

Learn to extrude a circle into a surface or solid, set height, and switch to shaded view. Then create revolved surfaces by rotating a sketch around an axis.

Patch holes on surface models, apply fillets to create smooth edges, select edges and surfaces, and adjust the fillet radius to refine the three-dimensional form.

Learn to shape NURBS surfaces in AutoCAD 3D by using NRPs and control vertices, comparing NRPs creation versus standard methods, and mastering extrusion, conversion, and surface rebuild.
