Items related to Mechanical Desktop: Native Solids
Synopsis
Cheng's concise guide to NATIVE SOLIDS teaches student and professional users of AuthoCAD(r) and MECHANICAL DESKTOP(r) how to create three-dimensional solids objects. Users begin by creating primitive solids, and then combine two or more of these to form complex solids using the Boolean operations Union and Subtract. The book then introduces users to the process of extruding and revolving 2D regions and polylines to create solids, and applying the Boolean operation Intersection in model making. In later chapters, users learn how to develop thin shell solids with internal bosses and webs, how to apply utility commands on a solid, and how to output orthographic and 3D views of a solid model to a paper document. The book concludes with a full-blown architectural project that enables users to explore constructive solid geometry techniques, and a summary of all solid modeling commands covered. This tutorial-style companion book by Ron Cheng offers additional skills and support to his main book, MASTERING AUTOCAD(r) RELEASE 14.

Synopsis
Building on the foundation of AutoCAD skills provided in Cheng's "Mastering Autocad R13" book, this brief companion book teaches students and professional users of Mechanical Desktop how to create three-dimensional solid objects (called "native solids" in Autodesk literature). The book begins with an overview of solid objects and how they are built using a computer; users then move to creating complex solids using Boolean Union and Subtract operations, extruding and resolving 2-dimensional regions and polylines to become solids, and using another Boolean operation, Intersection, to create models. The author explains how to output 3D solid models to paper, generating orthographic and 3D-views in a paper document. Finally, users learn how to produce a 3D structural framework and use constructive solid geometry techniques in building an architectural project. The book concludes with a summary of all solid modelling commands used in the text.
