3D

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic, Pro and Platinum, Bricscad (Linux) Classic and Pro

Draws 3D mesh objects: boxes, cones, cylinders, dishes, domes, meshes, pyramids, spheres, tori, and wedges (short for "three dimensional").

Accessing the Command

command bar:  3d

 

: 3d

Prompts you in the command bar:

Wedge/Pyramid/Box/Cone/cyLinder/Sphere/DIsh/DOme/Torus/Mesh: (Enter an option.)

 

This command acts like a shell for the 3D mesh modeling commands.
