(3 day class) 7/27-29, 10/12-14, 12/5-7
Course Objectives

• To teach students the fundamental concepts and workflows for creating 3D models using AutoCAD.
• Represent a design by creating solid primitives, solid or surface models from cross-sectional geometry, or composite models from multiple solid models.
• Complete a solid model design by adding the necessary features to detail, duplicate, and position 3D models.
• Convert 2D objects to 3D objects.
• Document a 3D design by creating 2D drawings for production and visualization.
• Communicate design ideas using visual styles, lights, model walk-through tools, and renderings.

Prerequisites
• Proficiency in AutoCAD 2D commands
• Working knowledge of concepts and methods of 3D modeling
