Courseware Description
This courseware provides a basic understanding of how to create and modify both solid and surface models using AutoCAD® software. Creating 3D models shows students how to present their designs while they are still being created, using visualization tools such as visual styles, model walk and fly throughs, materials, and lighting. Students also learn how to output 3D models from AutoCAD to either paper or a distributable, electronic version.
Objective
The primary objective of this courseware is to teach students the fundamental concepts and workflows for creating 3D models using AutoCAD.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- Represent a design by creating solid primitives, solid or surface models from cross-sectional geometry, or composite models from multiple solid models.
- Complete a solid model design by adding the necessary features to detail, duplicate, and position 3D models.
- Convert 2D objects to 3D objects
- Document a 3D design by creating 2D drawings for production and visualization.
- Communicate design ideas using visual styles, lights, model walk-through tools, and renderings.
Who Should Attend
This courseware is for designers who are familiar with AutoCAD and proficient in working with 2D objects, and who want to create 3D models of their designs.
Prerequisites
Students should have worked in the current or a previous release of AutoCAD, and should have experience with creating and editing basic AutoCAD objects and creating and working with layouts. It is also recommended that students have a working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows® Vista, Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Microsoft® Windows® XP.
