AUTOCAD®: CREATING AND PRESENTING 3D MODELS
This course is for the designer who needs to create, modify, evaluate and test designs. In this course, we manipulate three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional screen. Designed for people with little or no AutoCAD 3D experience, this course guide you through the creation of 3D models from simple primitive and wire frame models to sophisticated solids and surfaces for composite solid model creation. Once this skill is mastered, we will learn the strengths and weaknesses of each type, and when and why to use one or the other. Once the model is designed, learn the new techniques to visualize and plot 3D objects. This course is AIA/CES approved.
