3DPowerTools "The folks at 3DPowerTools Inc. have come up with is an incredibly practical slew of creation, editing and visualization functions that AutoCAD has never provided out of the box and which 3D modelers have been waiting on for years. I say... years. More than 50% of my daily work, since Release 10 appeared on the market, has been comprised of modeling and editing surfaces in 3D, and my reaction after working with this package for the first 2 hours was 'I can't believe it. It's finally happened.'"-- Dave Espinosa-Aguilar AUGI Board of Directors

Rich Primitive Set Create solids by using 3DSphere, 3DBox, 3DPyramid, 3DTorus, 3DCylinder, 3DCone, and 3DWedge. Create solids and surfaces using 3DExtrude, 3DTaper, 3DRevolve, 3DSweep, 3DLoft, and 3DHelix. Select arbitrary extrusion paths; specify arbitrary taper angles and extrusion directions. Sweep profiles along arbitrary paths; blend between two sections. Click on the images below to see an animated demo.
Transparent Orbit In the middle of any 3DPowerTools or AutoCAD command, use 3DXOrbit to change your viewpoint so that you can more clearly visualize the effect of your edits. Click on the images below to see an animated demo.
Interactive Shaded Dragging All 3DPowerTools commands provide immediate feedback by showing you the results of the command as it proceeds. This feedback occurs in the current shading mode. For instance, if your viewport is Gouraud-shaded, 3DCylinder displays a smooth-shaded cylinder being lifted off the UCS while you drag your mouse. 3DPowerTools takes advantage of the capabilities of AutoCAD and the underlying video hardware to redraw only the changed portion of the scene. This greatly facilitates working with large assemblies.
Powerful Solid and Surface Editor Our innovative, UCS-free solid and surface editor allows you to model intuitively and organically. Move, scale, and rotate vertices, edges, and faces in all three dimensions without worrying about setting the UCS. Click on the images below to see an animated demo.
Intuitive Object Manipulation The 3DModify suite of commands enables you to manipulate objects by clicking and dragging. This command combines move, scale, and rotate into one 3d-aware, mouse-driven command. Use the context menu (via a right click) to switch between subfunctions (such as 3DRotate, 3DMove, and 3DScale). Axis-constrained translations and rotations allow you to position your objects precisely. Tab and shift-tab cycle through angular snap points. Interactive dimensions display the angle rotated or the distance translated. Click on the images below to see an animated demo.
Edit in Perspective Projections AutoCAD does not allow point entry in perspective. 3DPowerTools overcomes this limitation -- all 3DPowerTools commands work in perspective projection, allowing you to visualize your model in a more realistic fashion.
