In Detail
Residential Design Using AutoCAD 2011 is an introductory level tutorial which uses
residential design exercises as the means to teach AutoCAD 2011.
Each book comes with a DVD containing numerous video presentations
in which the author shows and explains the many tools and techniques
used in AutoCAD 2011. After completing this book readers
will have a
well-rounded knowledge of Computer Aided Drafting that they can use in
the industry and a feeling of satisfaction having completed a set of
residential drawings.
This textbook starts with an optional section that covers basic
hand sketching techniques and concepts intended to increase your
ability to sketch design ideas by hand and to think
three-dimensionally. The book then proceeds with a basic introduction to AutoCAD
2011. The first three chapters are intended to get the reader
familiar with the user interface and many of the common menus and
tools. Throughout the rest of the book readers design a residence
through to its completion.
Using step-by-step tutorial lessons, the residential
project is followed through to create elevations, sections, details, etc.
Throughout the project, new AutoCAD commands are covered at the appropriate
time. Focus is placed on the most essential parts of a command rather than
an exhaustive review of every sub-feature of a particular command.
The Appendix contains a bonus section covering the fundamental
principles of engineering graphics that relate to architecture.
Videos
The videos contained on the included DVD make it easy to see the
menu selections and will make learning AutoCAD straightforward and
simple. At the start of each chapter the reader is prompted to watch
a video that previews the topics that will be covered in the
proceeding chapter. This allows the reader to be familiar with the
menu selections and techniques before they begin the tutorial.
Readers will feel more confident in what they are doing and have a
better understanding of the desired outcome of each lesson by
watching these videos.
