Learn 3D Drawing Basics 1 00:00:09,660 –> 00:00:15,180 To create this part in 3D, we will simply need polylines. 2 00:00:15,980 –> 00:00:20,360 You will see in this video how they will be converted into three-dimensional elements 3 00:00:20,360 –> 00:00:23,820 with commands such as Extrude and Revolve. 4 00:00:24,260 –> 00:00:27,620 In this example, we can see several rectangles. 5 00:00:27,860 –> 00:00:31,439 A rectangle is a certain kind of a closed polyline. 6 00:00:31,600 –> 00:00:33,160 Here is one, 7 00:00:33,320 –> 00:00:34,460 here another … 8 00:00:34,580 –> 00:00:38,180 and here are more rectangles – in total we have six. 9 00:00:38,240 –> 00:00:40,160 Here we have a circle 10 00:00:41,680 –> 00:00:45,920 and on the other side we have two closed polylines. 11 00:00:47,20 –> 00:00:49,500 Let’s now create this part in 3D. 12 00:00:51,80 –> 00:00:55,300 We first work with this rectangle, whose corners should

Make changes to the external drawing 1 00:00:08,920 –> 00:00:10,720 We are working with this wooden bike 2 00:00:10,840 –> 00:00:14,420 which is not only a toy, but also a mechanical project. 3 00:00:14,580 –> 00:00:19,80 In previous videos, we saw how to create the saddle and its structure 4 00:00:19,280 –> 00:00:21,340 as well as wheels, 5 00:00:23,140 –> 00:00:26,380 frame, fork, and handlebar of this bike. 6 00:00:26,600 –> 00:00:30,620 The wheels are inserted in this drawing as external references. 7 00:00:30,700 –> 00:00:35,379 But the remaining parts of the bicycle are created directly in this drawing. 8 00:00:35,800 –> 00:00:42,80 To finalize the wheel we will open the wheel file to make the changes directly in this external drawing (XREF). 9 00:00:42,240 –> 00:00:47,720 As a result, the changes will appear

Working with the Frame of 3D Model 1 00:00:09,340 –> 00:00:14,40 In this video we will create the frame and the fork of the wooden bicycle. 2 00:00:15,660 –> 00:00:22,360 To create this part of the structure we just need a closed polyline describing the outline of this shape. 3 00:00:22,700 –> 00:00:26,119 And then these circles to create the holes in it. 4 00:00:26,320 –> 00:00:31,160 The method we will use here is to redraw the outline of this figure. 5 00:00:31,880 –> 00:00:34,540 So, let’s select the polyline function. 6 00:00:35,180 –> 00:00:37,171 We can start here. 7 00:00:38,980 –> 00:00:42,199 In this case we need an arc in this section. 8 00:00:42,820 –> 00:00:46,420 For that we chose the option ARC with the “A” key 9 00:00:47,100 –> 00:00:49,380 and simply

Create 3D Solids with the REVOLVE command 1 00:00:08,540 –> 00:00:13,719 In this video, we concentrate on the wheel. We will build it in 2 stages. 2 00:00:13,920 –> 00:00:19,800 This video is focused on the first stage, that is to say the design of the “rim” and the “tire” – 3 00:00:19,940 –> 00:00:23,180 two solids created with the command REVOLVE. 4 00:00:23,540 –> 00:00:28,480 To create these solids by revolution we need 2 closed polylines. 5 00:00:30,160 –> 00:00:34,20 One closed polyline will be used to create the rim 6 00:00:34,200 –> 00:00:37,50 and another one to create the tire. 7 00:00:37,120 –> 00:00:43,290 To create these polylines, we use the basic drawing and editing 2D commands. 8 00:00:43,290 –> 00:00:48,390 We start by creating a graphical reference – a rectangle. 9

Getting started With 3D modeling 1 00:00:09,80 –> 00:00:14,40 This video is one out of four explaining how to create this wooden toy. 2 00:00:14,220 –> 00:00:20,620 This series will illustrate how to potentially create any 3D element – especially with solids. 3 00:00:21,20 –> 00:00:26,720 In this drawing we see the scheme of the wooden toy that we’re creating in 3D. 4 00:00:26,920 –> 00:00:32,120 These are simple entities such as rectangles, circles and ellipses 5 00:00:32,420 –> 00:00:40,200 There are also some more complex figures which combine lines and arcs to create  closed polylines of singular shapes. 6 00:00:40,440 –> 00:00:45,59 The goal of each shape is to create a single closed polyline. 7 00:00:45,280 –> 00:00:51,760 This is crucial to create a three dimensional solid – using commands such as Extrude
