All Sessions provide a complete start-to-finish video animation of each Task, allowing the user to understand each topic clearly.
At the beginning of each Session, a Worksheet is provided which gives an overview of the commands used in the Session.
A comprehensive ‘knowledge‘ guide to frequently used 2D and 3D tools is supplied, complete with worked examples.
Learn how to draw a small part using various Draw, Modify and Zoom tools. Dimensions will also be inserted onto the drawing and a drawing layout will be created suitable for printing the drawing.
Learn about the subject of conceptual sketching and how an image can be inserted into the drawing over which a floor plan can be sketched. In this Session, you will also learn about :
The Wall, Arc Wall, Door and Window tool will be used.
Walls, doors and windows will be modified.
Standard (Front, Top, Side) and Isometric views.
Learn about creating a solid model from the sketch produced earlier:
In Session 4-3D you will learn about designing a modular chair by creating, manipulating and extruding profiles.
A complete ‘KNOWLEDGE’ section will demonstrate a full range of 2D drawing and 3D design tools. These include :
- Starting and setting up a new drawing | creating and saving a drawing template.
- The Graphical User Interface | controlling and personalizing the appearance of your interface.
- Graphical Information | Using the various Information Palettes.
