Create Wireframes

With AutoCAD you can create wireframe models by positioning any 2D planar object anywhere in 3D space. You can position 2D objects in 3D space using several methods:

• Create the object by entering 3D points. You enter a coordinate that defines the X, Y, and Z location of the point.
• Set the default construction plane (XY plane) on which you will draw the object by defining a UCS.
• Move the object to its proper orientation in 3D space after you create it.

Also, you can create some wireframe objects, such as polylines, that can exist in all three dimensions. Use the Add3DPoly method to create 3D polylines.

For more information on creating wireframes, see “Create Wireframe Models” in the User's Guide.
