343 Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Learning Objectives After completing this chapter, you will be able to: Create model documentation using drawing views. Create section views. Create detail views. Create auxiliary views. Construct a 3D section plane through a 3D model. Adjust the size and location of section planes. Create a dynamic section of a 3D model. Construct 2D and 3D section blocks. Analyze solid and surface models. Exchange solid model fi le data with other programs. Prepare fi les for 3D printing. This chapter discusses the tools available in AutoCAD for creating drawing views and showing section views of objects. This chapter also discusses AutoCAD tools for conducting model analysis, importing and exporting model fi les, and preparing fi les for 3D printing. Introduction to Model Introduction to Model Documentation Documentation There are multiple techniques available to create drawing views from 3D models in AutoCAD. Using these techniques, orthographic, isometric, section, and auxiliary views can be created in order to produce multiview drawings. The techniques avail- able include the following. Use the VIEWBASE, VIEWPROJ, VIEWSECTION, and VIEWDETAIL commands to create multiview drawings that are derived from and associated to a 3D solid or surface model. The drawing views are placed in a paper space layout. This is the most effi cient method to create multiview drawings in AutoCAD. Use the SECTIONPLANE command to show the internal features of a 3D solid model. This command can create 2D and 3D section views on an object.
