No, it's a specific program for process plant facility design. There are lots of videos on Youtube if you want to find out more about it. You can also find out more here: https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/included-toolsets/autocad-plant-3d If you want to do 3D work in Autocad, you don't need any additional programs. The tools are already there in the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammobake Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Autocad has a Z dimension that is vertical with relation to the traditional 2d coordinate system (X, Y). There are multiple ways of modeling objects in 3D in Autocad. Check out the tutorials section of the website and scroll down to "3D Basics". That should get you pointed in the right direction. There are tons of Autocad 3D modeling videos and walkthroughs online also. -ChriS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
