How to Make Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in CAD:

  1. Start by making the head of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Create a polygon shape, as shown:Christmas CAD - 1 shape-e1576600438984-768x407
  2. Extrude up.Christmas CAD - 2 extrude-768x483
  3. Imprint lines on the top and bottom as shown.Christmas CAD - 3 imprint-768x432
  4. Use the Manipulator and DmPushPull to adjust the faces as shown.Christmas CAD - manipulate sml
  5. Mirror.Christmas CAD - 5 mirror-768x568
  6. Union.
  7. Fillet.Christmas CAD - 6 fillet-768x539
  8. Repeat for the nose.Christmas CAD - 8 fillet-768x571
  9. Create a guideline, as shown.Christmas CAD - 9 guide line-768x491
  10.  Extrude the end face. Set the direction to the guide curve and add a taper angle of 10°.Christmas CAD - 10 extrude-768x566
  11. Extrude again, use the y-axis for the direction and set the taper angle to 5°.Christmas CAD - 11 extrude-768x460
  12. Use the Manipulator to change the angle of the back face.Christmas CAD - 13 manipulate-768x488
  13. Fillet the edges.
  14. Use Spline to create some legs.Christmas CAD - 14 legs-768x516Tip: Hit the Shift Key to align the UCS with the faces on the sides of the body.
  15. Use DMThicken to transform the splines into solids.
  16. Create a Cone.Christmas CAD - 15 cone
  17. Copy it into the end of each leg and move it into position.Christmas CAD - 16 position-768x287
  18. Use DmPushPull to extend the ends of the legs into the hooves.Christmas CAD - 17 push pull-768x260
  19. Use Spline to create an antler.Christmas CAD - 18 antler-768x525
  20. Use DMThicken to convert this into a solid.Christmas CAD - 19 dmthicken-768x504
  21. Use Fillet to soften the edges.Christmas CAD - 20 fillet
  22. Use a closed Spline to create an ear shape.Christmas CAD - 21 ear-768x469
  23. Use Revolve to create the ear.Christmas CAD - 22 revolve
  24. Use a Sphere to create an eye.Christmas CAD - 23 eye
  25. Mirror the face.Christmas CAD - 24 mirror
  26. Use a closed Spline to create a half tail shape.Christmas CAD - 25 spline-768x421
  27. Use Revolve to create the solid.Christmas CAD - 26 revolve
  28. Use the Manipulator to move the tail into position.Christmas CAD - 27 manipulate
  29. Last, but not least, use a Sphere to make the nose.Christmas CAD - 26 nose-768x541
  30. ...And finish him off with some materials.

Polyline Editing in BricsCAD

Polylines offer an array of functionalities for 3D modeling. Polylines consist of connected line or arc segments that act as a single entity. Each segment can have a constant or varied width, making polylines versatile for creating 3D models.

In this tutorial, we'll explore the various methods you can use to edit a polyline in BricsCAD.
