Creating and Modifying 3D Models
Start creating your 3D models by drawing basic
shapes and then manipulating them to build more
complex structures.
Draw Shapes
Use the drawing tools to create lines,
rectangles, circles, and other shapes.
Extrude Shapes
Convert 2D shapes into 3D objects by extruding
them to a specific height or depth.
Modify Objects
Use the move, rotate, and scale tools to adjust
the size, position, and orientation of objects.
