Overview
This book emphasizes one underlying and unique approach to all manufacturing and construction projects—the design, documentation, visualization, and presentation of any object or project should all be from one three-dimensional data set. The development of both working drawings and presentation renderings are covered with a blend of theory and follow-along tutorials that provide students with comprehensive explanations of AutoCAD's visualization tools and the AutoCAD renderer. Chapter topics offer an introduction and explanation of how to use the book, then explore two dimensional representation, view, solid modeler, user coordinate system control, editing 3D objects, geometry, surface modeler, multiple views from a model, three-dimensional architectural details, perspective, and render. For AutoCAD designers and technicians.Editorials
Written for designers familiar with 2D AutoCAD, this text explains how to create a true representation of an object in three dimensions that allows viewing from a variety of directions and the reuse of a singular data set. Each chapter reviews the theory behind a tool before walking through the sequence of AutoCAD commands. The CD-ROM contains partially complete drawings. The 3D glasses are for viewing stereoscopic images. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
