howt to orientate civl cad 3d drawings

Hi,

Okay so I am struggling again with CAD, I need help on how to sympathize and visualize 2-D drawings to brand 3-D drawings using Solid Edge

Are there any websites or places where I tin understand these drawings for e.m. I am making a model of a screw jack now and I have the top ,front and side view and a few dimension but I don't understand how to visualize two-D to make it iii-D ?

I hope I accept been descriptive enough :)

Cheers

This is something that some people seem to exist able to do automatically while others never terminate finding it difficult.

You kind of accept to first know what 3D things expect like in 2D. Eg a cylinder may be a rectangle in 2 of the views and a circle in the other view. So when y'all encounter circles you lot can check the other views to observe if they are cylinders and how long they are.

Y'all might get used to it by looking at 2D drawings of things you already know in 3D. One way is 3dcontentcentral.com You can download second and 3D versions of all sorts of parts.

Some other way to piece of work on such things is to grab a handy-groovy point and shoot camera and pick a few objects to have some pictures of. Take pictures like you take for your ball screw and see if you tin encounter how you would construct whatever detail you took a moving picture of.

Do, practise, do.

Your best bet is to actually actually draft up simple objects y'all can see in 2D CAD. Not simply will you get a better thought of the 2D to 3D visualization, but your drafting skill will improve.

It'll be vital for when someone inflicts autoCAD on you.

Good give-and-take "inflicts". And I think it holds truthful for every CAD software out there, from autoCAD to CATIA and beyond.

In the days "before CAD", when the but way to draw anything was on newspaper, learning this skill was a primal part of learning "engineering cartoon", and yous got to practice it the whole fourth dimension you were drawing anything.

If yous want to learn this "properly", endeavor to find an introductory textbook on engineering cartoon from the 1960s or 70s that doesn't mention computers, and work through it.

Of form computer software for three-D drawing and visualisation has peachy value, but i of its drawbacks is that people can get started and (apparently) progress for quite a long fashion without always having to face up to learning the basics.

If you have some 3-D cartoon software, if might be useful to construct 3 faces of a rectangular box, "describe" your 2-D drawings on those faces, and the "extrude" the drawings through the space "within" the box, to come across how they fit together to brand the solid object.

Of course calculator software for 3-D drawing and visualisation has great value, but one of its drawbacks is that people can get started and (plainly) progress for quite a long way without ever having to face upward to learning the basics.

Exactly what I experience, I recall going straight to CAD is making me feel like its actually difficult. We need to know the basics , however there is admittedly no time to get through any books now because I accept 6 subjects and 3 labs right now so the merely mode is to go along practicing and my exams are in 2 months.

Yep I use Solid Border, and aye I have been trying some drawings and its going pretty skilful.

I guess that's the only way to get information technology done.

Thanks for your help and the others volition keep y'all posted!

I wish I was the type of person who could visualize information technology straight, but none the less I guess if I continue to exercise I tin do it.

Thanks for the website sounds corking. Volition have to keep checking them out.
