Step 18: You can select any one of the circles for rotating this object along the select axis circle.
I will enter 60 degrees as the angle of rotating this box along the x-axis. Step 17: Now, hold the cursor of a mouse on this circle and move the mouse cursor to rotate it, or you can enter a value of angle for rotating it along this axis. Step 16: Now, when you select any one of the circles for rotating this object along that axis, the color of that circle will convert into yellow color like this. All circles have a different color according to the colors of their axis origin indicator. Step 15: Once you make click rotation circles of all three axes will visible to you in the center of this box like this.
So I will click on this 3d box with the 3d rotate command.
Step 14: Now, it will ask you to select the object you want to rotate by clicking on it. Now click on the 3d Rotate command icon, which is at the command of Modify menu of the Home tab of this software. Step 13: Now, your workspace will change like this. For changing it again, go to the Workspace switcher option at the bottom of the working window and click on the 3d modeling option of the list.

For this method, we have to switch to another workspace of this software that is 3d modeling workspace. Step 12: Now, let us analyze another method of rotating a 3d object in Auto Cad software. Step 11: Your object will rotate like this at your given angle of rotation. Step 10: Now, move the mouse cursor like this to rotate your object in a particular direction around this point, or you can enter the value of the angle at which you want to rotate it. Step 9: Now click on the point around which you want to rotate your object. Step 8: Now, it will ask you to select the edge of the object around which you want to rotate the box. Step 7: Now go to Modify menu of the Home tab of this software and click on the rotate command icon, which is in the list of Move command of this menu. I will choose the Shades of Gray option from the list. Step 6: For changing it into shaded view, go to the View style control option and click on it, then choose any one of the shaded options. This is a 2d wireframe view of this object. Step 5: Then drag the mouse cursor in the upward direction for giving the height of this box like this, or you can enter the value of height for making it, then make click to complete this command.

How to Use 3D Rotate in AutoCAD?Īt the top of the working screen, there is one ribbon which has a number of tabs for managing commands of this software below this we have a working window area in which we can see our current working a navigation cube also lies at the top right corner of this window for seeing our object from a different view that is a top view, front view, side view, and some other 3d view, below this we have a ribbon on which we have the number of navigation commands for handling the working during our project in this software. So let us start our discussion on this topic. Here in this article, we will understand this topic through an example of a 3d object which we make by using 3d modeling command of this software and analyze how we can control parameters of this 3d rotate command. 3d Rotate is one of the 3d modeling commands through which you can rotate any 3d object in all three axes: x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. We have many different types of command in this software some used for 2d work, and the other is used for 3d modeling work. AutoCad is 2d and 3d computer-aided designing software, which Autodesk developed as its most important engineering drawing designing software.
