? Define surface vs solid modeling
? Draw a rectangle at XY origin
? Explode the rectangle into separate lines
? Extrude lines as thin surfaces
? Blend to close bottom surfaces
? Draw an overhang arc for top
? Rotate arc into correct position
? Mirror surfaces for symmetric overhang
? Network surface to form roof
? Trim surfaces and create hole
In this tutorial you’ll learn how to draw a rectangle at the origin, explode it into lines, and extrude those lines as 3D surfaces. We’ll use surface blend to close gaps, create an overhang arc, mirror surfaces for symmetry, then network and trim to finish your model. Perfect for anyone wanting a straightforward guide to AutoCAD 3D surfaces.
