Training Course Summary:

This course provides a basic understanding of how to design and modify 3D models with AutoCAD.

Creating 3D models helps users better visualise and present designs that are created with CAD. This course introduces delegates to the fundamental concepts and workflows for creating 3D models with AutoCAD. Delegates explore how to create and modify both solid and surface models. Delegates also learn how to output 3D models from the CAD system to either paper or a distributable, electronic version. The concepts and practices taught will help delegates take their AutoCAD designs beyond 2D to the next dimension – 3D!

Hands-on exercises throughout the course are used to demonstrate the modeling process through the use of techniques that can be applied to the mainstream drafting industries.

Pre-Requisites:

It is recommended that delegates have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000, the current or a previous release of AutoCAD, creating and editing basic AutoCAD objects, creating and working with layouts.

Who Should Attend:

The delegate should be proficient working with 2D objects in AutoCAD and have a need to create 3D models of their designs.

Training Course Overview/Content:

The primary objective of this course is to teach delegates powerful tools and techniques for creating and editing 3D models with AutoCAD.
