3D Drafting
This course explores the three-dimensional construction and viewing capabilities of AutoCAD. Topics covered include a review of point coordinate entry and the user coordinate system (UCS). Spherical and cylindrical coordinate entry, 3D viewing and display techniques, and construction of 3D solid primitives, 2D regions, solid modeling composites, surface models, and 3D mesh models are also introduced. Other topics covered include creating multiple viewports for 3D constructions and creating drawing views for model documentation purposes. Visual styles and rendering are also discussed.
