After creating a 3D solid model, you can use the ShapeManager modeler in AutoCAD to change the form and appearance of the model.
Overview of Modifying 3D Solids
After creating a solid model, you can change its appearance by filleting, chamfering, sectioning, slicing, and separating.
You can also edit faces and edges on your solid model. You can easily remove blends created by FILLET or CHAMFER. You can change the color or copy a face or edge of a solid as a body, region, line, arc, circle, ellipse, or spline object. Imprinting geometry on existing solids creates new faces or merges redundant faces. Offsetting changes the faces relative to the original faces on the solid model, for example, making the diameter of a hole larger or smaller. Separating disjointed composite solids creates 3D solid objects. Shelling creates thin walls with a specified thickness.
Fillet and Chamfer 3D Solids
You can add rounds and fillets to selected edges of 3D solids.
With FILLET, you can add rounds and fillets to selected 3D solids. The default method is specifying the fillet radius and then selecting the edges to fillet. Other methods specify individual measurements for each filleted edge and fillet a tangential series of edges.
Similarly, with CHAMFER, you can bevel the edges along adjoining faces of selected 3D solids.
Section and Slice 3D Solids
You can create a cross section through a 3D solid. The result can be a two-dimensional object representing the shape of the section, or it can be a 3D solid chopped in half.
With SECTION, you can create a cross section through a solid as a region or an anonymous block. The default method is specifying three points to define the plane. Other methods define the cross-sectional plane by another object, the current view, the Z axis, or the XY, YZ, or ZX plane. AutoCAD places the cross-sectional plane on the current layer.
With SLICE, you can create a new solid by cutting the existing solid and removing a specified side. You can retain one or both halves of the sliced solids. The sliced solids retain the layer and color properties of the original solids. The default method of slicing a solid is to specify three points that define the cutting plane and then select which side to retain. You can also define the cutting plane by using another object, the current view, the Z axis, or the XY, YZ, or ZX plane.
