AutoCAD is not preferred for 3D modelling for the following reasons: 1. It is not a parametric software, which means you can not identify the step in which a particular operation was done in the past also, no design rule can be built in the model. 2. It does not support assemblies 3. It employs Boolean...

It does not support assemblies 3. It employs Boolean operations to generate the 3D geometry which is a very primitive method of geometry creation. 4. It is practically impossible to create sheetmetal parts in AutoCAD. read less

AutoCAD operates on Constructive solid geometry basis. Hence complex forms/shapes cannot be obtained. It isn't a feature based software. Hence cannot trace back to the initial stage of modelling anytime. It doesn't offer assembly design which is very important for conceptual design projects. All parametric...

Sketchup,Autocad,Vray tution with professional approch

Because 3D mode of AUTO-CAD is very tough to use and consumes lot of time in making model of even simple objects or structures, whereas 2D mode of AUTO-CAD is very easy to use ,But you can use other popular 3D modelling software like 3Ds max, sketch-up.

Your question is like why we choose airplane for travel instead of train or bus. Autocad is designed only for drafting purpose but you can learn basics of 3d modelling from autocad. Autodesk has designed this software. For 3d purpose they designed other software like 3dx max etc.
