AutoCAD features a variety of commands to create 3D solid objects. In this chapter, we will discover the first set of creation commands, which is a set of primitive 3D objects. The purpose of these commands is to provide a shortcut to creating primitive 3D shapes, and even if the desired model is a complex shape, they act like a starting point from which you can start modifying and adding details to create the desired shape. The primitive 3D solid commands that will be covered are as follows:
- Creating Boxes
- Creating Cylinders
- Creating Cones
- Creating Spheres
- Creating Pyramids
- Creating Wedges
- Creating a Torus
- Creating polysolids
Each command will be presented in detail, including the alternative options and methods included therein.
