Now we will be con- structing 3D model drawings in the acadiso3D.dwt template. Setting up a new 3D template So far in the earlier chapters of this book, we have been constructing both 2D and 3D drawings in the acadiso.dwt template. To demonstrate methods of printing rendered 3D solid models. To demonstrate the use of the forms of shading available while using Visual Styles shading. To introduce the idea of adding materials to 3D solid models in order to obtain a realistic appearance to a rendering. To give examples of the rendering of 3D solid models.

To show how to illuminate a 3D solid model to obtain good lighting effects when rendering. To introduce the use of the Render tools in producing photographic- like images of 3D solid models. To construct a template for 3D modelling to be used as the drawing base for further work in 3D in this book.
