3 daysAdvanced19 modules
About this course
Move from 2D drafting to 3D design in AutoCAD. You will create solid and surface models, convert 2D geometry to 3D, document designs with 2D production drawings and present them with visual styles, lights and renderings, while also mastering dynamic blocks, attributes and sheet sets.
What you'll learn
- Fundamental concepts and workflows for creating 3D models using AutoCAD
- 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
