creating elevations

Hello,

I try to draw 3d in autocad, but i'd like to know how to work with
elevetions....
Can anybody help me?

 

Not familiar with the term "elevations", sounds vaguely architectural. Is this
something you want to do with Pro/ENGINEER. We do a lot of feature creation based
on sketched cross sections. We can help you with that, if you'd care to describe
your goals in a little more detail. For answers to questions about AutoDesk
products, go to comp.cad.autocad.

Elevations are front views in architecture or civil engineering drawings.

 

Okay, that makes sense. But what does this have to do with trying to do something
in 3d? converting 3 view drawings to 3d? descriptive geometry to make elevations?
Can we help this guy? Seems like we need a little more information.

 

I think what he wants to do is create civil/architectural drawings from 3d
models--not a good fit for ProE. It is also very difficult to do using plain
vanilla autocad. He should check out some of the autocad packages (revit?)
or third-party add-ons for autocad (softdesk?), or perhaps look at
Microstation.
