AutoCAD 2010: Learning AutoCAD 3D
3-Day Course
Course Description
Uing hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios, users explore the fundamental concepts and workflows for creating 3D models using AutoCAD 2010. Users learn about 3D conceptualization using solid, surface, and mesh models, and the recommended practices for evolving those into composite models. The tools and concepts of free-form organic modeling are covered. This guide also teaches users how to present their designs while they are still being created, using visualization tools such as visual styles, model walk and fly-thorough materials, and lighting. Users also learn how to output 3D models from AutoCAD 2010 to either paper or a distributable, electronic version.

Course Prerequisite
A working knowledge of the following is required: How to create and edit basic AutoCAD objects, and work with layouts in a recent version of AutoCAD. It is recommended that you have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows 2000
