3D Exercise 64

Exercise 64

In this CAD tutorial we'll use the features: 


1. Cylinder (Primitive)

Definition: A quick tool to create a solid cylinder without needing to draw a sketch first. How it works: You go to Create > Cylinder, select a plane (floor), click a center point, and drag to define the diameter and height. Best for: Quickly creating the starting stock for a part, like a rod, a base, or a coin, without the 2-step process of Sketching + Extruding.


2. Shell

Definition: Hollows out a solid body. How it works: You select the cylinder you just made.

  • Select Top Face: The top opens up (like a cup).

  • Select No Faces: The part becomes hollow on the inside but stays closed (like a hollow egg). Best for: Turning a solid cylinder into a container, a cup, or a thin-walled housing.


3. Emboss (Deboss Mode)

Definition: Wraps a sketch (text or profile) onto a curved surface and cuts into it. How it works:

  1. Create a sketch (like a number "1" or a slot shape) on a plane in front of the cylinder.

  2. Select the Emboss tool.

  3. Select the Face (the cylinder wall).

  4. Crucial Step: In the dialog box, choose "Deboss" (creates a recess/cut) instead of Emboss (which raises it up). Best for: Engraving text, creating grip textures, or cutting decorative grooves into a curved surface without distorting the shape.


4. Circular Pattern

Definition: Duplicates features around a center axis. How it works: You don't need to Deboss every single notch manually.

  1. Select the "Deboss" feature you just created.

  2. Select the Axis (the center of the cylinder).

  3. Type the quantity (e.g., 10). Best for: Creating grips on a knob, numbers on a dial, or patterns on a vase.


5. Fillet

Definition: Rounds off sharp edges. How it works: You apply this last to smooth out the top rim of the cylinder or the sharp edges inside the debossed cuts. Best for: Making the object comfortable to touch and realistic for rendering.
