SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on drawing irregular rigid bodies using GeoGebra. Users express limitations in GeoGebra's capabilities, primarily supporting lines and circles. Recommendations include exploring the "Freeform" command in GeoGebra and considering AutoCAD's "spline" function for creating complex curves. Video resources from the GeoGebra Channel are also suggested for further assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with GeoGebra interface and basic commands
  • Understanding of geometric concepts related to rigid bodies
  • Knowledge of AutoCAD features, specifically the "spline" function
  • Basic video tutorial navigation skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the "Freeform" command in GeoGebra for drawing irregular shapes
  • Research AutoCAD's "spline" function for creating complex curves
  • Watch tutorial videos on the GeoGebra Channel for practical guidance
  • Investigate alternative software options for advanced geometric drawing
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, students, and professionals seeking to create complex geometric shapes using GeoGebra or AutoCAD, particularly those with a foundational understanding of these tools.

I will preface this by saying that I am not very knowledgeable about computer software and programs, so far I know the basics. I want to draw an irregular rigid body on GeoGebra, maybe using commands like "Freeform," but I haven't found a way yet. What do you recommend? Thanks to those who would like to answer me.

It seems to me that GeoGebra capabilities are limited to lines and circles.

AutoCAD has the "spline" function with which you could create complex curves.
Free versions of that software may have that function.
