Creating a Basic 3D
Surface Model
Elevation !"ickness
To work in three dimensions in AutoCAD, we need to use a third axis on the
rectangular (Cartesian coordinate system. This axis (defined as Z), determines the
depth of an o!ect. "n this context, the #$axis will identify the %"DT&, the '$axis
()*+T& and the Z$axis determines the D),T& of an o!ect.
1. -tart a new file from scratch. Accept all the default settings.
2. Turn the +rid and -nap .* (/0 1 /2), and use the default spacing.

%ith the /(AT-&.T command, you can create a flattened 8iew of all the 7D solids and regions in the current 8iew.
The resulting 8iew is a lock that is a flattened representation of the 7D model and is pro!ected onto the 1 plane. The process is similar to taking a 3snapshot5 of the entire 7D model with a camera and then laying the photograph flat. After inserting the lock, it can e modified ecause the flattened 8iew is comprised of 6D geometry. This feature is particularly useful for creating technical illustrations
