ODA Drawings SDK is ODA’s industry-standard toolkit for working with DWG data from any application on any platform. The new sculpted solid functionality supports the creation of standard ACIS®-based 3D solid entities from collections of bounding surfaces. The resulting solids can be embedded in any standard DWG file. ![3D solid creation from a set of surfaces](/files/inline-images/sculpt_demo_0.png)3D solids before and after sculpting operation (visualized in ODA Cloud Viewer) “With the addition of sculpted solids, we now have native support for more than 90% of solid modeling operations available directly in our Drawings API,” said Neil Peterson, ODA President. “This includes Boolean operations, lofting, sweeps, and more. “While DWG is primarily thought of as a 2D technology, more and more people are starting to use it for 3D as well. By integrating our native solid modeler with Drawings SDK, ODA member companies can take advantage of the 3D capabilities of DWG without licensing expensive third-party modelers.” **Availability and Pricing** Sculpted solid support is available in Drawings SDK version 22.5 and later, and it is accessible to all ODA members at [opendesign.com](https://opendesign.com/).
