It is very common during the process of 3D modeling to break down the creation process into drawing 2D shapes (representing cross-sections or bases), then extruding or revolving to create the 3D object. Another possible scenario is to have an entire 2D drawing that needs to be converted to a 3D model. In this chapter, the following topics will be discussed in detail (these are the 2D-to-3D conversion commands):
- Using the Extrude command
- Using the Revolve command
- Using the Sweep command
- Using the Loft command
- Using the Presspull command
In addition to that, the opposite scenario might be the case, where a 3D model is present and we want to create a 2D shape from it. This task can easily be done using either of ...
