We offer 6-session accelerated classes. Our On-Site AutoCAD classes are offered two times a week.

What you learn: Create 3D objects in AutoCAD, including solids, surfaces and regions. Integrate your objects into a virtual environment. Learn how to create specific perspective viewing. The skills learned in this class have direct application to VIZ and REVIT.

Prerequisite: Fundamental working knowledge of the Windows environment and AutoCAD or instructor approval.

Course Description: This course introduces 3D modeling concepts to architects, engineers, contractors, designers and illustrators with the desire and need to integrate AutoCAD 3D modeling into their professional toolbox. Knowledge and confidence in the application of 3D computer design tools will be gained through hands-on training exercises and demonstrations in the computer lab. The course will utilize lectures, hands-on demonstrations and lab exercises to familiarize class participants with AutoCAD commands relevant for 3D modeling. The course covers 3D modeling commands for buildings and "props", the creation of AutoCAD drawings which will allow the class participant to show multiple perspective views of their computer model in one plotted drawing, and steps necessary to take the 3D model into animation and rendering software. The use of the AutoCAD rendering tools will be covered.

Course Project: Modeling objects which can be used as "props" in a 3D environment or as stand-alone entities for client presentations. Use 2D architectural technical documents as a source for developing the 3D model.

Grading: Class participants will receive a grade for their contributions to the class. There will be quizzes and tests to ensure that class participants fully understand the topics being presented.

Open labs: Open labs are available for use in completing homework assignments and for additional "practice time" by the class participants. There is an additional cost for using open labs. Please contact us to receive that information.
