Course Description

Introduces the concepts behind 3D modelling, and teaches everything you need to produce 3D drawings and models in AutoCAD.

Target Student

This course is ideal for users proficient in using AutoCAD to produce 2D drawings who now want to take advantage of AutoCAD's 3D drawing and modelling capabilities.

Pre-requisites

Delegates should be familiar with the fundamentals of AutoCAD, i.e. have attended AutoCAD Essentials training or have equivalent knowledge. No previous 3D modelling experience is required, and delegates don't necessarily need to have completed AutoCAD Intermediate training.

Performance Based Objectives

Teaches the fundamentals of 3D modelling, teaching you how to:

Create modles from 2D designs
Create full working drawings of your 3D models
Produce visualisation models
Using lighting and materials to enhance your design
