Extrudes; Sweeps and Spins Video Lecture - TurboCAD A Complete Course -

Toodee profiles can be used to create 3d
objects in a variety of ways the most
commonly used tools to create 3d objects
and profiles are the simple extrude rail
sweep and revolve the simple extrude
simply adds height to a 2d profile to
use the simple extrude tool first check
the profile to be sure there are no gaps
or intersections as these will not allow
the tools to work properly if the
profile has any gaps or intersections be
sure to clean them up with the 2d modify
tools
when using turbo cad deluxe the profile
will need to be a closed polyline if the
profile is made up of segments and arcs
you will need to use to join polyline
tool first
you
you
now that the profile is closed you can
use the simple extrude tool
after selecting the simple extrude tool
make the profile you would like to
extrude like most tools in turbo cad the
operation can either be finished with a
mouse click or by entering data into the
inspector bar below the drawing area
in turbo code professional there is an
option to use a compound profile when
using a compound profile segments and
arcs do not need to be joined as
polylines
and when multiple profiles are chosen
the inner profiles will be subtracted
from the outer profiles creating holes
in the 3d object
you
you
keep in mind that some changes to
profiles can cause unwanted results in
the extruded object for example if you
explode a circle into polylines before
extruding the results will be faceted
while a circle that remains intact will
extrude into a cylinder while the rules
for the profiles are the same for all
profile tools some of them work a bit
different the rail sweep creates a 3d
object by dragging the profile along a
path the profile will remain
perpendicular at all times when using
the rail sweep to use the rail sweep
tool first pick the profile than the
path as you can see this is kind of like
making pasta or playing with play-doh
the revolve tool creates a 3d object by
spinning the profile around an axis
first select the profile then pick two
points for the axis
to create a helix from the revolved
object go into the objects properties
under revolution shape add a pitch and
choose the number of coils you would
like this results in a spring-like
object
