Course description
This course covers the AutoCAD 3d modelling features and visualisation techniques by exploring the fundamental concepts and workflows for creating 3D models using AutoCAD®, making use of hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios.
Students will learn about 3D conceptualisation using solid, surface and mesh models, and the recommended practices for evolving those into composite models.
- The tools and concepts of free-form organic modelling.
- Presenting designs while they are still being created using visualisation tools such as visual styles, model walk and fly through, materials and lighting.
- Outputting 3D models from AutoCAD to either paper or a distributable, electronic version.
Objectives
To teach the fundamental concepts and workflows for creating 3D models using AutoCAD, including:
- Creating a rough design using solid primitives, solid or surface models from cross-sectional geometry, or composite models from multiple solid models.
- Completing a solid model design by adding the necessary features to detail, duplicate and position 3D models.
- Creating free-form, organically shaped mesh models using sub-d mesh modelling tools, and converting them to solids or surfaces for additional modelling operations.
- Converting 2D objects to 3D objects.
- Documenting a 3D design by creating 2D drawings for production and visualisation.
- Communicating design ideas using visual styles, lights, model walk-through tools and renderings.
