Please check back to the CATI Blog as the team will continue to break down more interesting topics in 3D design and analysis outside of DraftSight 2019.
DRAFTSIGHT 3D SERIES
We hope this part of this series gives you an understanding of what is now available for these products to help you optimize your design. Make Flat Snapshot: Creates a flat representation of 3D solid objects and Regions, projected to the drawing’s X-Y plane of the active Custom Coordinate System (CCS). The resulting surface is a PolygonMesh.Īnother set of new features to DraftSight 2019 are the Snapshot tools:Ĭross Section: Creates a cross-section based on the intersection of a plane and 3D solids. Tabulated: Creates a tabular surface using a path curve and a direction vector. Ruled: Creates a ruled surface between two boundary curves (profiles). Revolved: Creates a surface by revolving a path curve (profile) around an axis of revolution. Wedge: Creates a wedge-shaped 3D PolygonMesh.Įdge: Creates a 3D PolygonMesh between four boundaries. Torus: Creates a torus-shaped 3D PolygonMesh. Sphere: Creates a spherical 3D PolygonMesh. Pyramid: Creates a pyramidal 3D PolygonMesh. Now we’ll transition the 2D drawing to a. (Some of the commands available Box, Cone, Cylinder, Wedge, PolySolid, Push & Pull, Loft, Revolve, Sweep, Union, Subtract, Shell, Thicken & Check.) We’ve created the 3D result of the defined 2D sketch. included with DraftSight 2019 Enterprise Plus. These are displayed without defining entities and boundaries that already exist in the drawing.ģD Face: Creates three- or four-sided surfaces in space.īox: Creates a box-shaped 3D PolygonMesh.Ĭone: Creates a cone or cylinder-shaped 3D PolygonMesh. Now by using the feature-rich 3D Modeling U.I. Solid editing command : Lets you modify edges, faces, and bodies of 3D solid objects.ĭraftSight 2019 now allows you to create 3D surfaces that are shown as wireframe models.

Union: Creates a composite region or solid by addition. Thicken: Creates 3D solids from surfaces by thickening them. Subtract: Creates a composite region or a 3D solid by subtraction. Slice: Slices 3D solids with a plane or surface. Pattern 3D: Lets you create a pattern of entities in 3D space, either in a linear matrix or a circular alignment about a rotation axis. Mirror 3D: Creates a mirror image in a 3D plane around a 3D axis. Intersect: Creates regions or 3D solids from the intersection regions or of 3D solids.įillet Edges: Rounds the edges of 3D solid objects. Interference checking: Checks interferences within a solid model. You also have additional functions for editing a 3D model:ģD Rotate: Rotates drawing entities in 3D space around a specified axis.Īlign 3D: Aligns entities with respect to other entities or other target points in 3D space.Ĭhamfer Edges: Bevels the edges of 3D solid objects. Push and Pull: Modifies 3D solids or bounded areas by extrusion. Polysolid: Draws 3D solid objects in the shape of a polygonal wall. Loft: Creates a 3D solid by lofting between existing cross sections. Revolve: Creates a 3D solid or surface by revolving a 2D object about an axis. Sweep: Creates unique solid primitives or surfaces by sweeping existing two-dimensional entities along a path. You now have additional functions for creating a 3D model: Wedge: Creates a three-dimensional solid toroid. Torus: Creates a three-dimensional solid toroid.

Sphere: Creates a three-dimensional solid sphere. Planar surface: Creates a rectangular planar surface. Pyramid: Creates a three-dimensional solid pyramid. You can create primitive shapes with single tools such as the following:īox: Creates a three-dimensional solid box.Ĭone: Creates a three-dimensional solid cone.Ĭylinder: Creates a three-dimensional solid cylinder. In this case, these are the 3D modeling tools:
DRAFTSIGHT 3D MAC OS X
* DraftSight download link provides trial version of the software for Win 64, Win 32, Mac OS X and Ubuntu.In addition to the many updates we’ve covered so far, DraftSight now has the capability to edit and create 3D models within this year’s release.
