26-9-1. 3D WIREFRAME MODELLING Fé,
It represents a model by it’s edge only. Nothing is between the edges and so
cannot hide objects that are behind them. Fig. 26-28 shows a simple 3D Wireframe
model. It is made of 18 lines with four circles represnting the edges of a round hole,
It gives the look of 3D but it is not real 3D. You
cannot apply Boolean operations on them and So
cannot calculate the mass properties. It can be
used as skeleton for surface and solid modeling. qq cS

26-9-2. 3D SURFACE MODELLING ZZ,
In this modeling the objects are created by use of surfaces attached to 3D Wireframe
models. The attached surfaces have zero thickness so cannot calculate the mass
properties. It can hide objects that are behind them. These models are just empty
shells. The surfaces are flat, with curved and rounded surfaces approximated by
small rectangular or triangular faces.
Commands used to create 3D Surface Models:
(1) Vpoint: Refer detail on page no. 666
(2) UCS: Refer detail on page no. 666
(3) SHADEMODE command: The SHADEMODE command generates a simple
shaded picture of the solids and surface models displayed in the current viewport. It
will hide all back portion by "Hide" option. ‘Realistic’ and *Conceptual’ option will
Shade the model with current color. "3Dwireframe" option will get back the shaded
model to wireframe model. The command sequence is given below.

(4) ELEV command: This command sets elevation and thickness properties for new
2D wireframe objects such as line, point, circle, polygon, arc etc. Elevation sets the
starting height of surface in Z direction from XY plane and thickness will give height
to the surface in Z direction. The command sequence is explained below vide self

26-9-3. 3D SOLID MODELLING ZA,
Solid modeling is the process of building objects that have all the attributes of an
actual solid object. It has mass, weight, volume, center of gravity, moment of
inertia etc, in addition to surfaces and edges. We can cut, join and create holes
and cavities. It is a single object and are used as a part to create assemblies and
interference check. It eliminates the need for building expensive prototypes and
makes the product development cycle shorter. The solid model created on the cad
software are based on a program called the ACIS Geometrical Modeler. So they are
also called ACIS solids. There are two methods to create solids.
Method I: Standard 3D shapes based solids:
In this method six types of standard shapes available in cad are used to generate
solids of different shapes. These shapes are Box, Wedge, Cylinder, Cone, Sphere and
Torus. They are also called primitives. The command sequence for each shape is
explained below vide self interactive examples (Module 26-37 to Module 26-42 and

Q
In this method the following steps are performed.
(1) Create 2D closed profile in XY plane using 2D commands.
2) Generate surface on this profile by using REGION command.
(3) Use EXTRUDE command to provide height to this profile in Z direction OR use
REVOLVE command to revolve this profile about X or Y axis of UCS and thus
solid will be created.
(4) Finally use SHADEMODE command to get real look of solid,
