In this chapter, we learned how to properly set up AutoCAD to start doing 3D modeling. Starting with setting up our working environment to better serve the 3D modeling process, we learned about the concept of workspaces and explored the dedicated 3D workspaces in AutoCAD 2021. We also looked at how to divide the drawing area into multiple viewports to view the model from different angles simultaneously.
The next step was learning how navigate and change the view effectively and quickly. We learned about the different alternative navigation tools available in AutoCAD, how to switch between the standard views, and how to create our own set of views that better suits our project.
Another important aspect is the style by which the objects are displayed. 3D objects can be displayed in many different styles, ranging from something as simple as wire frames up to a realistic models...
