I can't find solid, surfaces and meshes in UI

the user interface of Autocad Architecture should contain 3D modeling with three tabs for solids, surfaces, and meshes? I have thoroughly checked all tabs, the whole user interface. I could not find anything. All commands works fine through the console, but there are not the corresponding controls on the user interface.

The out-of-the-box ACA.cuix, in the Architecture Workspace, does include a Solids tab, but its display is turned off.  If you right click in an empty area of the ribbon, you can select Show Tabs > Solids from the context menu to have that tab display.

 

The ACA.cuix appears to have a few ribbon tabs related to Meshes, but these include "contextual" in the name, so they may not be exactly what you want.  You may want to transfer the Mesh Modeling and Surface Modeling tabs from the ACAD.cuix file.  The Solid Modeling tab in the ACAD.cuix file may also have tools not present on the ACA Solids tab.

Thanks!

How can I transfer the Mesh Modeling and Surface Modeling tabs from the ACAD.cuix file?

 

This problem does not exist with Autocad Architecture 2010: I can see all three tabs for solids, surfaces and Mesh. Is there a way to import these settings from ACA 2010? Someone told me that in Autocad 2017 (not Architecture) there is no problem. it's true?

As I understand it, since on ACA 2010 I can properly view 3D modeling, I can transfer on ACA 2015 etc? If the answer is Yes, could you send me a link where everything is explained?

Since on AutoCAD Architecture 2010 I can properly view 3D modeling, can I transfer the workspace between AutoCAD Architecture 2010 and AutoCAD Architecture 2015 (or 2017)?

 

I read this https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to... after reading, this solution does not apply to autocad architecture 2010.

CUI command, Transfer Tab, help yourself.

As Dean mentioned, I would use the Transfer tab of the CUI editor.  And I would transfer from the ACAD.cuix file from whatever AutoCAD Architecture version you are using (2015? 2017?).
