Develop 3D models in AutoCAD using solid, surface and mesh approaches. Explore ways to combine these into composite models and work with free-form organic shapes.
Learn the core ideas behind 3D modelling and practise the key features of AutoCAD’s advanced 3D workspace.
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- 3D viewing techniques
- Working with simple and composite solids
- Creating complex solids and surfaces
- Modifying objects in 3D space
- Editing solids
- Creating sections, camera perspectives, and animations
- Converting 3D objects
- Setting up a rendering with materials and lights
- Creating 2D drawings from 3D models
- Working with the User Coordinate System
