Click on the workspaces list in the Quick Access toolbar and choose to use the 3D Modeling workspace as shown.

Level of Difficulty, Prerequisites, & Cost

At first glance, learning AutoCAD appears to be a daunting task. Its many powerful tools and number of commands are undoubtedly complex. But experts and the average users agree that anyone can learn AutoCAD; it just takes time and practice.

AutoCAD 2024 features new performance enhancements for 2D graphics and increased stability, fidelity, and performance improvements including up to 9x faster switching between layout tabs compared to AutoCAD 2023. * AutoCAD 2024 installation is also improved with an install up to 2x faster than AutoCAD 2023*.

Extrude: This is the most basic method. Select your closed 2D shape and use the “Extrude” command (type “EXTRUDE” or find it in the “Model” tab > “3D Modeling” panel). Specify a distance to extrude the shape, essentially giving it depth and creating a 3D solid.

Open the Workspaces drop-down list on the Quick Access toolbar, or click the Workspace Switching button on the status bar and then choose 3D Modelling.

To turn an image into 3D, it must be in SVG (vector format). You can also convert PNG or JPG to SVG with any online converter, such as this one. When you have an SVG file, all you have to do is drag-and-drop it onto the canvas, set the thickness, and convert it into a geometric element.

3D animation is far more complex and technical, as it involves creating a three-dimensional model of an object or character and giving it instructions to move a certain way. The focus, therefore, is more on modeling and computer programming.

AutoCAD's sheer volume of commands and options can make it appear daunting. Because AutoCAD has so many uses, there are many parts to understand. But remember, there are many tools in the software that you may never use. So start with the basics and take it from there.

AutoCAD 2024 offers more advanced features for 3D modeling, customisation with add-on apps and APIs, rendering, and CAD standards, among other features, while AutoCAD LT 2024 is a more affordable version that still offers many of the essential features for 2D drafting, annotation, and automation.
