The primary goal
of AutoCAD 3D is to focus on one of the most exciting areas of CAD -
the creation of three dimensional drawings. This course is designed to
meet the needs of a new generation of architects, mechanical designers
and other design professionals who need to create 3D models. The course
begins with creation of wireframe models, and evolves into complex
creation of solid models in later units. You will also learn how to
view, rotate and shade your 3D models along with plotting them.
