Learning Path Courses:

3D Sketching Course Introduction

Course Description
In this course, you will learn how to create geometry at any point in 3D space using a 3D sketch. A 3D sketch does not use a sketch plane. By comparison, a 2D sketch is created on a single flat plane such as XY. Use a 3D sketch to create paths for wiring, tubing, sweeps, and lofts. You can also use a 3D sketch to create surface edges.

Course Objectives
The material presented in this course teach you how to:
Learn how to use a 3D sketch to create paths for wiring, tubing, sweeps, and lofts, or to create surface edges.
Learn how to create a curve on Face in the 3D sketch environment.
Learn how to interactively position 3D sketch entities or grounded work points by dragging in a planar move, axial move or rotate, free movement, or entering values along X, Y, or Z axes.
Learn how to use a Helical Curve to create springs and threads.
