Hi I'm new to 3d modeling and learning through this site, could you please help as I can't seem to get to trim an object. For example if I draw a circle and then put a line through the centre (both on the same UCS) I can't trim it so I have only half a circle which in 2D I would have.
Could you point me in the right direction.
Thank you

Hello Mark,
The only reason of your problem is your objects may not be on the same surface. (I mean their Z values may differ)
Please make sure your circle and line have same Z values. You can verify this by making a simple example. Draw a line then draw a circle by using your line's midpoint as center point of circle. then try to trim this two objects.

Hello,
I have a drawing which has obviously a wrong orientation. It is a building in 3D but drawn in the XZ-plane and Y as the hight. I have to bring this back to the correct coordinate system as you described in this article (XY is the groundplane and Z for heights).
Can you explain me how I realize this?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot, for this tutorials, I am new in ACAD and I am using ACAD 2009 version, your tutorials are great. I think you score the goal with this very simple and basic steps. I devoted myself in learning ACAD cause it opens whole bunch of new job oportunities for me, cause here in Bosnia and Herzegovina very few people are good ACAD users. So keep this way simple and easy to understand and above all very useful. Thanky you.

Hi....
I am using autoCAD 2008. I have a confusion about trim command when work with 3D. Many times i tried to trim a 3D object which intersecting other one in some angle. I could not do that and i am getting a a message that the particular object cant be trimmed. I used project command and tried all the options i knew. Could any one please help me to resolve my problem?

Hello Irene,
Use UCS [ENTER] X [ENTER] 90 [ENTER] command. And try to move it again :)

Hello sir, I would like to know if there is any way I could find the information you have about Acad 3D Modeling in Dutch, I can't translate this page. I do know my way around the 2D Modeling, and I would like to learn to draw in 3D, but I'm not that skilled in Englisch. Is there a way you could help me? Thank you.... Rachel
