AutoCAD 2018 3D Modeling

AutoCAD 2018 3D Modeling

This book provides new and seasoned users with step-by-step <br />procedures on creating and modifying 3D models , working with <br />cameras and lights, assigning materials to objects, rendering, <br />and printing. Unlike many AutoCAD competitors, it uses both metric <br />and imperial units to illustrate the myriad tools for this popular <br />application. Use the companion disc to set up drawing exercises and <br />projects and see all of the book’s figures including color (files also <br />available for downloading by writing to the publisher at [email protected]). <br />AutoCAD 2018 3D Modeling includes 50 "mini-workshops," that complete <br />small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of <br />the workshops will simulate the creation of full projects (architectural and mechanical) <br />from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and <br />functions in AutoCAD 2018.<br /><br />Brief Table of Contents:<br />1: AutoCAD 2018 3D Basics. 2: Creating Solids. 3: Creating Meshes. 4: Creating Surfaces. <br />5: Creating Complex Solids & Surfaces. 6: Solid Editing Commands. 7: 3D Modifying Commands. <br />8: Converting and Sectioning. 9: Printing in 3D and Creating 3D DWF Files. 10: Cameras and Lights. <br />11: Materials, Rendering, Visual Styles, and Animation.
