 AutoCAD
Creating and Presenting 3D Models Course Description
Course Description
This course provides a basic understanding of how to design and modify
3D models using AutoCAD® software. Creating 3D models helps users
better visualize and present designs that are created with CAD.
This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts and workflows
for creating 3D models with AutoCAD. Students explore how to create and
modify both solid and surface models. Students learn 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 the CAD system to either
paper or a distributable, electronic version. The concepts and practices
taught will help students take their AutoCAD designs to the next dimension
– 3D!
Hands-on exercises throughout the course demonstrate the modeling process
using techniques that can be applied to the mainstream drafting industries.
The exercises printed in the book are also provided in an on-screen format
that can be viewed next to AutoCAD.
Suggested Course Duration: 3 days
Trial CD: Yes
Onscreen Exercises Included? Yes
Training Objectives
The four primary objectives of this course are to teach students how
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 course is designed for AutoCAD users who are proficient in working
with 2D objects and have a need 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® 2000 or Microsoft®
Windows® XP.
