 Topic: Help with 3DPlotPosted: 24.Jun.2012 at 02:37 |

Hi I am pretty new to AutoCad and need some help plotting 3D surfaces from mathematical functions. I downloaded the 3DPlot utility and followed the instructions from this site: http://www.cadstudio.cz/en/apps/3dplot/.
I defined a shape myFunc using: (defun myFunc (x y) (list x y (cos(x)+cos(y)))) However when I try to plot using: (3DPlot myFunc -1.0 1.0 0.1 -1.0 1.0 0.1) I get this error: error: bad function: -1.0 What am I doing wrong? Also would it be possible for me to get repeating units of the function cos(x)+cos(y)? |

Hi, your function definition is not properly formated in AutoLISP syntax. Assuming you want to draw Z = cos(x) + sin(x), the proper syntax is:
This will draw a part of a 3D sphere.
