* The spur gear, worm gear, sprocket, and pulley convert to a 3D object and 3D hub object.
This command creates the 3D equivalent of a selected 2D object. If a 2D object with no 3D equivalent is selected, a beep sounds, a notice indicates that the object cannot be converted, and the object is deselected.
To create a 3D object from a 2D object:
Select the 2D object. Several 2D objects can be selected at one time.
Select the Create 3D Object from 2D command from the appropriate menu:
● Architect workspace: AEC > Machine Design > Create 3D Object from 2D
● Landmark workspace: Landmark > Machine Design > Create 3D Object from 2D
● Spotlight workspace: Spotlight > Machine Design > Create 3D Object from 2D
The 3D object is created with the same parameters as the 2D object.
