3 days
Overview
The leap into three dimensions requires many changes in thinking and drawing habits for those who are used to 2D drawing. This course introduces to the concepts and methods of 3D modeling in AutoCAD. The course gives a thorough grounding in 3D fundamentals and explores the main features of AutoCAD's advanced 3D environment.
Objective
Learn and get familiar with 3D objects; create and modify with 3D elements. Introduction to 3D Rendering and Animation.
Prerequisite
- Users proficient in producing 2D drawings in AutoCAD, who now want to take advantage of AutoCAD's 3D drawing and modeling capabilities.
- No previous 3D modeling experience is necessary.
- Delegates should have a working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows®.
