Autocad Solid Editing
Welcome to our interactive learning platform, where we delve into the intricate world of 3d modeling with autocad. Our modules, ranging from fillet edge & chamfer edge to extrude surface, separate, & offset, are designed to enhance students' skills in modifying and creating complex 3d objects. Through a combination of practical exercises, imaginative experiment ideas, and comprehensive case studies, each module aims to inspire creativity and foster a deep understanding of advanced autocad techniques. Join us as we explore these fascinating concepts, supported by engaging templates, presentations, and quizzes to enrich your learning experience.
FILLET EDGE & CHAMFER EDGE (4.36-4.38)
Students learn to modify object edges using various radii for fillets and distances for chamfers.
Experiment Ideas: Designing a modern smartphone case, creating a set of decorative picture frames, crafting a unique toolbox.
Case Study: Design a set of jewelry inspired by the style and work of Tiffany & Co, integrating research insights to meet the design brief.
UNION, SUBTRACT, & INTERSECT (4.39-4.41)
Mastering the modification of objects by uniting, subtracting, and creating new objects with the intersect command.
Experiment Ideas: Constructing a unique piece of modular furniture, designing an abstract art piece, creating a complex machine part.
Case Study: Design a mid-century clock inspired by the work and style of George Nelson, fulfilling the design brief with creative application.
PRESSPULL (4.42-4.44)
Students learn to press or pull faces of objects, specifying points, distances, and tapers, to create additional parts or subtractions.
Experiment Ideas: Designing a set of custom car wheels, creating an ergonomic mouse, crafting a unique planter.
Case Study: Design a polyhedron inspired by mathematician Father Magnus J. Wenninger's designs, meeting the design brief through research and creativity.
SHELL & SLICE (4.45-4.47)
Focus on modifying objects by shelling (removing one or more sides) and slicing (keeping one or both sides).
Experiment Ideas: Designing a set of nesting dolls, creating a model of a futuristic building, and crafting a segmented snake toy.
Case Study: Design a model of their favorite food and use the slice command to create a 3D sectional view inspired by research to meet the design brief.
EXTRUDE SURFACE, SEPARATE, & OFFSET (4.48-4.
Students learn to modify objects using extruded faces (with and without tapers), separating non-connected objects, and creating new outlines by offsetting edges.
Experiment Ideas: Designing a unique laptop stand, creating a set of interlocking puzzles, crafting an intricate garden lattice.
Case Study: Design buildings inspired by Art Deco skyscrapers, incorporating research findings to meet the design brief creatively.
