General question on AC3D

[3dnewbie]

Hello,

I'm new to AC3D and see it as a way for me to design simple 3D mechanical objects using extrusion and maybe simple boolean operations (I don't know if AC3D supports this) on primitives. So now I have a 3D object, but let's say I want to place this object, or even manipulate it, in relation to another object that I've designed with AC3D. What would I use to place and oriented 3D objects in 3D and then be able to view that collective from different perspectives.

To position objects next to each other you simply need to watch the different views and select/drag the objects with the left mouse button.

To accurately line up objects you can select a vertex in two objects and then select Vertex->snap-objects-by-vertices. This will pull the objects together so that the vertices are in the same position.

Hope this helps - let us know if you have any specific questions,

Andy

P.S. There will hopefully be boolean plugin for the next release of AC3D.
