Examples
of the results of using some of the Solid Editing tools are shown
in this chapter. These tools are of value if the design of a 3D solid model
requires to be changed (edited), although some have a value in constructing
parts of 3D solids which cannot easily be constructed using other tools.
First example - Extrude faces tool ( Fig. 18.3 )
1. Set ISOLINES to 24.
2. In a ViewCube/Right view, construct a cylinder of radius 30 and
height 30 ( Fig. 18.3 ).
3. In a ViewCube/Front view, construct the pline (Fig. 18.2). Mirror the
pline to the other end of the cylinder.
