In Detail
Focused around a hotel suite project, AutoCAD
2011 for the Interior Designer provides the Interior Design
student with a non-intimidating, tutorial based, approach to learning the AutoCAD
program. It accomplishes
this by taking students that have no computer design experience from
simple commands to complete projects in this single-semester sized
text. This well
organized and progressive approach to learning AutoCAD
sets this text apart from others.
The emphasis of this book is on easy to understand descriptions and instructions, allowing
the non-technical, artistic, visual learning Interior Design
student to quickly get past the fear of using the computer to
produce drawings. The
focus is entirely on the use of AutoCAD
for the Interior Design field and not simply architectural
drawings.
Chapters
alternate between command descriptions, which are organized by a
command set category, and tutorials. This allows students to easily refer back to command
descriptions without hunting through a tutorial that introduces
commands as it progresses. The emphasis is on the practical use of commands used in the AutoCAD
Classic workspace, rather than the multiple (and seldom used)
command options.
Multiple
tutorials of the hotel suite, which includes floor plan,
elevation views, dimensioning, and plotting, provide a practical
application of the commands learned in the preceding chapters. Completely
dimensioned drawings are provided at the beginning of each
tutorial so that the advanced student, or an instructor led
class, can complete them without going through the step-by-step
process.
This textbook is classroom proven and relevant interior design homework problems are provided.
After
completing this book, the student will be able to create all
their 2-D Interior Design work using AutoCAD.
