ReMark Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I think this article says it all. If you don't agree come back here and post additional questions. http://manufacturing.cadalyst.com/manufacturing/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=547316 Quote
Dara Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 thank you for the link. But i was wonderin if anyone could give me a definition or describe 2D Drawings and 3D Virtual Models? Regards Dara Quote
ReMark Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 2D = flat. A drawing must include top, front and at least one side view. Isometric view and auxiliary views may be required for complex objects. 3D = not flat. The object is constructed in the X, Y and Z axis and can be viewed from any angle or direction. Quote
Dara Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 cheers thanks a lot for the help Dara Quote
ReMark Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 You're entirely welcomed Dara. Just curious why you asked in the first place? Quote
ReMark Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 homework question...lol Ok, you got me there. Quote
GypsyQueen Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Ok, you got me there. OMG ReMark, you actually answered someone's homework question?! Seriously though, I have this problem with interpreting meaning correctly in a lot of things, and so hearing other people's interpretation of a meaning usually helps me to understand what the rest of the "normal" world sees. My interpretations aren't necessarily wrong, they just aren't mainstream I guess. And yes, I have that problem with some things that are considered to only have one interpretation. But the doctors say I have nothing to worry about. *is trying to see the best in people today.* Quote
