While AutoCAD is primarily used for 2D drafting, moving from 2D design tools into a 3D environment is easier than ever with newer versions of AutoCAD. So, why should you transition into 3D with AutoCAD? 3D modeling in AutoCAD opens a new dimension of opportunities, such as 3D printing and nondestructive prototyping, and finite element analysis. In this course, Shaun Bryant shows you how to move from 2D into 3D, and introduces the 3D concepts and methodologies available in the full version of AutoCAD. He starts with the basics, covering the AutoCAD 3D interface, then gets you started on a simple first AutoCAD 3D project. After this course you’ll be ready to go from 2D drawing to 3D modeling, and into a whole new world of computer-aided design where you’ll be able to communicate your design intent and create great visuals.
