Creating 3D Objects

With the 3D Modeling tool set and various commands, draw objects in 3D, change 2D objects into 3D objects, or create hybrid objects that display in both 2D and 3D. 3D objects can have height (Z coordinate) as well as width and length (X and Y coordinates). This section presents methods of creating a variety of 3D objects. Unlike their 2D counterparts, 3D objects must be rendered to display a fill.

A 3D tool can only be used in a 3D view. If the view is currently Top/Plan, it automatically changes to Top when a 3D tool is selected.
