The primary goal of AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial - Second Level: 3D Modeling is to introduce the
aspects of computer based three dimensional modeling. This
text is intended to be used as a training guide for both students
and professionals.
The chapters in this book cover AutoCAD 2010 and proceed in a pedagogical fashion to guide you from
constructing 3D wire frame models, 3D surface models, and 3D solid
models to making multiview drawings. The text takes a
hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important 3D modeling techniques
and concepts. This book contains a series of eleven tutorial style
chapters designed to introduce CAD users to 3D modeling with AutoCAD
2010. Users upgrading
from a previous release of the AutoCAD software will also find this text
helpful.
The basic premise of this book is
that the more 3D designs you create using AutoCAD 2010 the better
you learn the software. With this in mind each tutorial
introduces a new set of commands and concepts, building on previous
chapters. By going through this book readers will establish a good basis for exploring and
growing in the exciting field of Computer Aided Engineering.
