Designed to provide learners with the information and practice they need to compete in a competitive job market, AutoCAD in 3 Dimensions Using AutoCAD 2005 blends theory and practical applications in a hands-on, lab and exercise-intensive look at all the important concepts needed to draw in true 3D. The book’s light-hearted tone and user-friendly, instructional framework features lists of key ideas found in each chapter; stylized print to emphasize key concepts; hundreds of visual aids to clarify discussions; tip boxes that offer useful insights into the program; clear, concise command sequences; sections that summarize chapter essentials; and hands-on exercises to review new ideas. Based on AutoCAD 2004, it explores the theory behind 3D modeling, how to prepare for 3D construction, the various kinds of 3D construction, and how to effectively enhance and present 3D models. An eight-part format covers: understanding 3D, preparing for construction of 3D models, construction of 3D surface models, solid modeling, enhancing the use of 3D, presentation, application projects, and application programs.
