johnjohn Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hello, I have used Autocad 2002 in high school but the 2010 version is much more advanced that the program I had been used to and it has been years. I use my autocad program mainly for designing tubular frame work for types of vehicles. I have not had the 2010 version for very long and am relearning everything. I have having troubles making a tubular frame in 3D, I was wondering if anyone on here knows of a tutorial that would best explain the process. Any information would be great. Thank you.

nestly Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Although not specific to tubes and frames, there's some great online classes to get familiar with 3D at Autodesk University online. (enrollment is free) Here's a couple of them. Creating and Editing 3D Solids, Surfaces, and Meshes in AutoCAD® 2010 http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=class&session_id=5144 3D Design From Concept to Completion in AutoCAD®, Part 1 http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=class&session_id=5181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjohn Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Thank you very much! I will take a look at those, this is a hobby of mine so its hard to find free classes to teach you more about the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 You could layout the centerlines of the frame and use the SWEEP command to sweep circles along them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
