Extrude an XY shape into Z.

ds30's Photo ds30 23 Mar 2021

Been awhile since I worked with AutoCAD, but I think I was able to turn a 2D shape into 3D by extruding.

I have the non-paid version of nanoCAD (5.0.2520.1471 - COMMERCIAL). Is it possible to create a 3D model out of a 2D shape with this version? Thanks for any help.

Hello,
you have some meshes (Draw>Meshes) ... box, cone, etc...
But no 3D tools for this ... (cut, intersect, etc...)
Also you can use Solid (Draw>Solid) like 3Dface in Autocad.

The UCS can be rotated, also the view. Line can have 3D coordinates.

I advise you to use Sketchup 17make (free) instead to model. PconPlanner (free) to convert sketchup files to DWG and NC25.0 for layouts and dimensions.
