Q

what are sectional veiws

A

no multiple components to assemble fewer steps required as the drawing is 2D (flat) there is no depth to produce
56
advantages of 3D CAD modelling
models can be manipulated to be veiwed around 360 degrees more realistic than 2D CAD depth is visible can be imported into an eviroment lighting effects can be applied to 3D models can enable CAD/CAM can be simulated and animated
57
Advantages of 3D CAD Illustration
allows the designer to apply materials, textures, light source, shadows and reflections to graphics models look far more realistic materials can be seen light, shadow, reflection and highlights can be seen colours are shown better idea of how it might look in an enviroment easier for non-graphics specialists to understand
