A 3D design consists of a number of points at the x, y and z coordinates. The more detailed the object you want to print, the more points the design will contain. With 3D design software, you can view the different views of the design to see if the design is complete. So you can view the front view, side view, top view and perspective view. There are many tutorial videos on YouTube to help you create a 3D design along the way.
