You the possibility of editing the basic 3D forms such as a torus, a sphere, semi sphere, cube, hexagon.etc, you have access to editing faces and edges of any object 123D design has more options of 3d modelling than making a loft such as revolving, extruding faces, sweep.etc. I decided to do a loft between these two polylines in order to create a 3d model and as you can see in the following image theĮlement was a bit more complicated. I really liked this because it makes things easier when manipulating these elementsĪppearing a sphere with all the axes in which you can move or spin the element. When you select the element it appears the different possibilities. I selected one of them, in the program it’s really easy to move and spin around because I drew two different polylines which is a continuous line composed of one or more line segments. Use arrows on the keyboard to nudge object.Įdit Grid: Change the grid size to the preset sizes or specify your own custom grid size. Snapping: nudging is easy way to bring precision while creating. Parts Bin: Choose from the wide library of Kits that contain several useful models that you can use and modify in 123D Design. Learn more about the product through the videos, tutorials, forums and website. Sign in: Log on to check your projects, models and social connections from your account. Just by clicking on different angles, view the Viewcube is the easy way to navigate on the screen. Switch on/off the grid with the icon on the Navigation bar.
Directly send the files to differentĪpplications like 123D Make and Meshmixer or simply send your model to 3D Print to your desktop 3D Printer or to Online Print Service Bureaus. Transform,Ĭonstruct and modify objects using tools.Īpplication Menu: Create new, open, save, import and export files from here. It has the Main Toolbar to start creating 2D shapes or 3D models using the tools in this toolbar. The interface is very simple and clean easy to find the different options:
For me it was easy to use it because I’m used to model things with other types of programs that have more options but are more I started designing my model with 123D Design as I said before, it’s a very intuitive program that has the basic Meshmixer is a program for repairing and transforming 3D meshes, it’s very funny to edit different models and transforming them into My idea was designing a basic 3d model in 123D Design and then export the file to Meshmixer that is also a programįrom 123D family. The reason why I’ve chosen this family of programs is because it gives you the possibility ofĮxporting the files very easily between them, that is to say, you can design your model in one program, edit it in another program and if you want, To know more about 123d programs that they are from Autodesk and as I always work with Autocad I thought it could be similar.įirst of all, I downloaded 123D family programs that all of them are very intuitive programs which everybodyĬan use for modelling basic forms and shapes. I’ve been reading about the different programs that Neil show to us in the class and I decided With a program that I’ve never used for modelling. The aim of this week’s assignment was to model a possible final project but I decided to create something new
