SOLID — 2D Solid

Draws filled triangles and quadrilaterals.

• Command: SOLID · Global name: _SOLID · Alias: SO
• Ribbon: Home › Draw
• Menu: Draw

Draws filled triangles and quadrilaterals (2D solids). They can be chained to form a strip.

Usage

1. Enter SOLID (or SO) or click 2D Solid.
2. Specify the first and second points: they form one side.

Specify first point:
Specify second point:

3. Specify the third point.

Specify third point:

4. Specify the fourth point, or press Enter to create a triangle and finish.

Specify fourth point or <exit>:

5. After the fourth point, the third and fourth become the first side of the next solid: go on with more third and fourth points, or press Enter to finish.

Notes

• The order of the points is AutoCAD's: the first and second form one side and the third and fourth the opposite side, in the same direction. If you give them in circular order (1, 2, 3, 4 around the figure), you get a bow tie.
• To fill areas of any shape, use HATCH with the SOLID pattern.
