Introduction to 3D
Learning Objectives
In this introductory modeling tutorial, you will start working with 3D space.
You will learn how to:
■ create primitive objects
■ duplicate objects
■ move, scale, and rotate objects
■ group and organize components
■ save files
This tutorial introduces you to working in 3D space, using the Autodesk Alias modeling
environment. You will build a desk lamp from cylinders and spheres using the Alias Surfaces
menu. As you build up the design, you will get used to moving, scaling and rotating objects
in 3D space.
You will learn how to group and organize the desk lamp, so that you can rotate the component
parts to simulate the operation of a real lamp.
