Delete option — it deletes a saved view port configuration by supplying the particular


name of the view port to be deleted.


Join option — it allows two adjacent view ports into a single view port by selecting


first the dominant view port and then selecting the other view port.


The dominant view port will inherit the second view port by merging


both.


Single option — this allows to display a single view port, displaying the active


configuration.


? option — it displays the number and co-ordinates of the current view port


and the identification number and screen positions along with the


names and screen positions of the saved view port configurations.


2 option — it allows the division of the current view port into equal parts, either


horizontally or vertically, based on the choice.


3 option — it permits the division of the current view port into three ports.


4 option — it creates 4 windows of equal size.


21.12 CREATION OF 3D PRIMITIVES


From the basic 3D primitives more complex solids can be built. A few such simple solids are


shown in Fig. 21.16.

21.12.1 To Draw a Cylinder


Cylinder offers several methods of drawing a 3D solid cylinder. The default is to choose a centre


point, then pick or enter the diameter/radius and height.


Command: CYLINDER


1. Elliptical / <0, 0, 0>: ↵ or pick a centre point


2. Diameter / : provide a diameter or radius by picking or entering


3. Centre of other end / : pick a point or enter a value


Options:


Centre — allows to create a cylinder with a circular base.


Elliptical — allows to create a cylinder with an elliptical base.


Centre of other end — allows to specify top end of the cylinder.


Height — allows to specify the height of the cylinder.
