Lynda - AutoCAD: 3D Architectural Modeling (2019)

Take your drawings from 2D to 3D with AutoCAD. In this course, instructor Scott Onstott helps you build your AutoCAD 2019 skills, one video at a time, as he steps through how to construct a 3D model. Scott shows how to extrude 2D plans into solid objects, cut out wall openings and add doors and windows, build 3D staircases, and model a complex roof surface. He also demonstrates how to create a 3D tower and sculpt the surrounding landscape with NURBS surfaces. At the end of this course, you'll have modeled a complete 3D community center based on an archetypal midcentury design.

Topics include:

Arranging elevations and sections around a plan
Rotating objects in 3D
Extruding walls, interior partitions, and headers
Building slabs
Modeling doors, windows, and stairs
Sculpting terrain
Creating a second floor
Building roof surfaces
Sculpting solids from regions and surfaces
Modeling a tower
