More and more AutoCAD users are venturing out of their traditional and familiar two-dimensional world to explore the possibilities of 3D space. Thanks to many software enhancements in this area, 3D is an increasingly useful and widespread tool. However, the leap into three dimensions requires some changes in thinking and drawing habits.
This course introduces users who are proficient with AutoCAD’s 2D commands to the concepts and methods of 3D modeling. The course gives a thorough grounding in 3D fundamentals and explores the main features of AutoCAD’s advanced 3D workspace.
