3D Modeling with xDesign: Revolve and Cut Features

Ready to take your cloud-based 3D modeling skills to the next level? Understanding how to efficiently add and remove material using rotational features is essential for creating complex, real-world CAD models. This written course helps you transition from simple extrusions to advanced rotational geometries. You will learn how to define axes of revolution, create intricate cut features, and apply industry-standard parametric modeling workflows directly in your browser. What you'll learn: Understand foundational 3D modeling terminology, sketch constraints, and the mechanics of rotational features; Design detailed symmetric components using the Revolve tool in xDesign; Apply precision Cut features to remove material and shape complex internal geometries; Configure parametric relations and sketch dimensions to ensure your models are easy to modify; Practice collaborative cloud-based workflows and model version control basics. You will start by exploring core definitions and sketching fundamentals before moving on to step-by-step written explanations of revolve and cut operations. The course concludes with practical text-based exercises to reinforce your new design skills. This course is designed for beginners who have a basic grasp of 3D sketching and want to expand their CAD toolkit. No advanced engineering background is required.
