How to apply AutoCAD for transforming a 2D model to 3D form

With the use of AutoCAD’s “Extrude” and “Revolve” commands, it becomes easier to transform 2-D designs into 3-D models. “Extrude” refers to the method for expanding a 2-D shape into 3-D space.

 AutoCAD accomplishes it by initially expanding a new axis at right angles to the 2-D axes on which your 2-D design prevails. It then replicates the 2-D shapes which are going to be expanded at a higher location on the axis, whereas maintaining the original shapes at the base of the axis. As soon as 2-D design is transformed to 3-D, display it with realistic lighting and shadows with the “Render” command on the Render tab.

1. Go to the “File” menu and choose the “Open” command from the context menu. Manage an AutoCAD file with a 2-D model that should be transformed to 3-D and double-click on it. AutoCAD will load the file for you to transform.

2. Type “Perspective 1” to specify that the design should be demonstrated with perspective. It means that parallel lines will become visible to be…
