3D Modeling

Experience premium 3D modeling tools to create anything from basic 3D shapes like boxes, wedges, cylinders, and spheres to sketch-based complex 3D solids using Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, Polysolid, Push and Pull, and Loft functions. Leverage 2D geometry to transform into 3D solids and send for downstream use in different file formats like .stl or .sat for 3D printing or use them with other 3D applications.

3D Solid Editing

Easily modify 3D solids using Boolean operations such as Union, Intersect and Subtract, reshape the edges using Fillet Edges or Chamfer Edges with different options, and use the Shell function to create a hollow, thin wall with a specified thickness.

call

2D Constraints

Control drawing entities parametrically by specifying geometric and dimensional properties. Easily define the relationships between entities and control their dimensions like length and angle.
