Provides step-by-step procedures using AutoCAD 2014 to create and modify 3D models in metric and imperial units.
This guide to AutoCAD 2013 3D modeling shows users how to create and edit 3D objects in AutoCAD for the purpose of producing real-world objects. Written for advanced AutoCAD users, the book serves as a complement to the manual which comes with the software. Through 50 "miniworkshops," readers will come to understand the AutoCAD 3D environment and be able to produce 3D objects using solids, meshes, and surfaces. The guide also shows how to create complex solids and surfaces, edit solids and use other general 3D modifying commands, convert 3D objects from one type to another, create 2D/3D sections from 3D solids, use Model Documentation, create 3D DWF files, create cameras and lights, assign material and create rendered images, use and create visual styles, and create animation files. Black and white screen shots and images support the text. The included DVD contains a link to a 30-day trial version of AutoCAD 2014. Humad is a certified AutoDesk AutoCAD Master.
