Module 7: Introduction to 3D Modeling
The module on 3D modeling introduces essential techniques for navigating the 3D workspace and creating basic 3D objects, including boxes, spheres, and cylinders. Key skills such as modifying models using boolean operations and visualizing models through various styles are covered. Additionally, the module teaches how to generate 2D views from 3D models, emphasizing the importance of these skills in the context of detailed design and CAD workflows.

What we have learnt
- 3D modeling allows for the creation of real-world objects digitally.
- Basic 3D objects can be created and manipulated using tools and techniques learned in the module.
- Boolean operations are crucial for modifying 3D models effectively.
Key Concepts
- -- 3D Workspace
- An environment where objects can be manipulated across three dimensions (X, Y, Z axes).
- -- Primitives
- The simplest 3D shapes used as building blocks in modeling, including boxes, spheres, and cylinders.
- -- Boolean Operations
- Operations such as union, subtract, and intersect used to manipulate 3D models.
- -- Visual Styles
- Different rendering techniques to view models in various perspectives based on editing or presentation needs.
