INTRODUCTION TO

3D MODELLING (2)
Multiple blocks
◦ AutoCAD 3D allows the creation of multiple blocks or solids
◦ Through the combination usage of simple blocks, either through 3D creation or 2D->3D creation
◦ Some requires the adjustment of UCS plane, since AutoCAD only allow some function on the XY plane
