3D SKETCHING

3D sketching differs from 2D sketching in a few ways, primarily that it no longer takes place on a single sketch-plane

3D sketches cannot (easily) be used to create typical features such as Extrude/Revolve

You can Fully-Define 3D sketches similarly to 2D sketches with constraints, dimensions etc.

There are three major axes/planes

• XY (Front Plane)

• YZ (Right Plane)

• XZ (Top Plane)

While sketching in 3D, you have to imagine that you're sketching temporarily in 2D

• The temporary plane is called the Reference Axis

• The  Reference Axis is indicated by which two arrows are red and the cursor indicator

• The  Reference Axis may be switched by pressing the Tab Key

To sketch on a particular plane, CTRL+LMB the plane and the next entity will appear on that plane
