AutoCAD 3D
AutoCAD 3D - 2-day AutoCAD course for existing AutoCAD users
Do you want to learn how to draw in 3D? This AutoCAD 3D course teaches everything you need to produce 3D drawings and models in AutoCAD.
Hands-on exercises are used to create 3D production drawings and to provide candidates with through understanding of the principal AutoCAD drawing commands and techniques. These techniques can be applied across a broad spectrum of industries.
On completion of this course, delegates will be able to:
- Create models from 2D designs.
- Create full working drawings of your 3D models.
- Produce visualisations of models.
- Use lighting and materials to enhance your designs.
This is an Autodesk-authorised course, run by Autodesk Certified Instructors (ACI), with vast experience of using the application professionally.
Target Audience
This AutoCAD 3D training is ideal for users proficient in using AutoCAD to produce 2D drawings who now want to take advantage of AutoCAD's 3D modelling capabilities.
Pre-requisites
Delegates should be familiar with the fundamentals of AutoCAD, i.e. have attended AutoCAD Essentials training or have equivalent knowledge.
