With a combination of the MOVE and Properties commands you can quickly create simple 3D drawings.
All objects can be given an elevation by moving them in the Z direction using the MOVE command. Although objects with a thickness can be said to be extruded, this should not be confused with the EXTRUDE command which creates solid extrusions giving an object thickness produces a surface extrusion. Most 2D objects can be given a thickness using the thickness option in the Properties ( DDCHPROP) command. Although AutoCAD has a number of commands for creating special 3D objects, a lot can be achieved by changing the properties of basic 2D objects like polylines.
