How to stretch a 2D CAD solid into a 3D solid
Let me explain: for example, if you want to create a rectangle using straight lines, you first need to define the area, then use the extrude command in the solid commands to give it a height; there’s no need to consider angles for now, just press Enter. Just look at it from the southwest isometric view.
To create 3D drawings, I think there are several toolbars that are essential. First are the toolbars for solids and solid editing; then there’s the 3D dynamic observer. Of course, the view toolbar is also very useful and is used frequently. You can first draw a box or a circle or something similar; before turning a 2D shape into a 3D one, that 2D shape needs to be turned into a surface area. Of course, if it’s a circle or a box drawn using polygons, there’s no need to convert it into a surface area – it can be stretched directly. The stretching from 2D to 3D is done using the Stretch option in the Solid toolbar. If you already have a 3D shape, such as a cube, and you want to stretch this cube, you need to use the face stretching feature in solid editing. To see how to do it specifically, you can look at the command line below. If you need to draw a curved 3D pipe, then you’ll need to use path stretching. Unlike the previous method, here you simply enter a length; whereas with path stretching, you need a reference line that defines the 2D direction. For example, if you already have a 2D curve, you can use that curve as a guide when stretching another circle or other shape. It’s a bit tedious to explain, but the operations on the software are simple; it just gets a bit harder when trying to describe them in words.
Use the “Stretch” command in 3D to stretch the 2D shape you want; however, it won’t be visible in the 2D wireframe view – you need to switch to 3D view to see it.
First, you need to create a domain first, then change the viewing angle (such as the southeast view). You can use the stretching tool in the toolbar to stretch it
I’ve learned it, thank you. Thanks for your hard work, OP!
