How to Create a Mesh and 3D Faces From Polygon or 2D Region In Autocad

Before you can create a 3dface in autocad from a polygon or region, you need to create a mesh first from a polygon or region. Simply use the MESHSMOOTH command if your polygon or region is made up of lines and polyline. However, if it contains arc segments, then you use the MESHREFINE command to produce more refined mesh in the arcs. After the mesh is created from a polygon or region, convert it to 3d face, simply explode the mesh by using the EXPLODE command.

Bonus Tip: Autolisp (LISP programs) and ObjectArx custom commands are powerful tools to draw fast in autocad. Look around this site for more info. Written by Superdraftsman on January 24th, 2010 with no comments.
