Working with 3D solids. Examples of solid insertion, selection or transformation.

Examples of solid insertion, detection and transformation. Examples of solid copying.

Creating predefined solid shapes (Box, cylinder, cone, pipe...). All solids can be created by rotation, extrusion or lofting of contours.

Solid creation by extrusion, full or partial rotation of contour.

Creating a solid by lofting rectangle to circle.
