PDF
Course Duration: 2 Days

Course Overview

This course is designed to give a good fundamental understanding of 3D modelling, It covers Solid Modelling, 3D Faces, Model/Paper Space, bi-directional, Boolean, Adaptive.

Course Objectives

    • The primary objective of this course is to teach delegates the basic commands necessary for 3D modelling and how to create scaled drafting views / paper space using AutoCAD. Upon completion of the course, the student will:
    • • Become familiar with the AutoCAD 3D user interface
      • Understand the concepts and features of 3D AutoCAD
      • How to edit 3D models in AutoCAD
      • Present drawings based on 3D model within AutoCAD
      • Develop a level of comfort and confidence with 3D AutoCAD through hands-on experience

Prerequisites

    • 2D CAD, ideally AutoCAD, experience is helpful to progress quickly through this course. However other, drafting, design, or engineering experience is useful. It is recommended that you have a working knowledge of Microsoft supported systems.

Target Audience for this Course

    • This course is aimed at those who want a clear and straightforward insight into the world of 3D Solid Modelling within AutoCAD.

Would definitely recommend

L.H. Hitachi, Excel Level 1

Which part of the course did you find particularly valuable The practical aspect and being able to demonstrate skills learned on the day.

J.J. Thermo Fisher Scientific, Train the Trainer

What were the most useful aspects of the course I felt learning about the pathfinder tool and default options the most useful aspect for me. This will save me a lot of time!

H.Y. Cmp Products British Engines, Adobe InDesign Level 1

Not used Power BI before but now have ideas on where we can use it, so will start implementing.

R.W. Px Limited, Microsoft Power BI Desktop

Very good run course, I learnt a lot of new skills throughout the day.
