Tip 2274: Steel Plate Extrusion Also from Antonia Acosta, the Steel Plate Extrusion utility is a handy LISP program that allows you to sketch steel plates in 2D and then quickly extrude them into 3D. After drawing steel plates as closed polylines, load the LISP code and type 3DFLG at the Command line. You will be asked to supply the plate size and to select the plates for conversion. The rest is automatic, making this a handy utility for drawing 3D extrusions quickly. |
