"Extrude" is how 3-D modelers to refer to the technique of stretching a 2-D shape into 3-D space. AutoCAD performs this expansion by first extending a new axis at right angles to the 2-D axes on ...

In a 2D the answer is two, and a 3D space can be tiled in shapes that have no corners at all, called soft cells. These shapes can be made in a few different ways, and some are shown here.

A 2D shape could have line symmetry or rotation symmetry, or both! 3D shapes are described by their faces, edges and vertices. The faces can be the same shape or different, and a 3D shape could ...
