Class Description: This intermediate to advanced hands-on lab offers AutoCAD 3D veterans a chance to explore the new AutoCAD 2010 3D features as well as tried and true modeling techniques. AutoCAD 2007 offered a 3D engine that was overhauled to give you more power and make it easier to build 3D models and 2D orthographic drawings. Existing tools for 3D solid and surface model creation will accelerate your design workflow! New AutoCAD 2010 mesh modeling tools will enhance our free-form designs. Learn new techniques in AutoCAD 2010, as well as tried and true techniques that will supersede your old-school techniques, and develop an understanding of 3D conceptual design. We'll explore User Coordinate System (UCS) flexibility, Sweeps, Lofts, PressPull, Helix, Polysolids, 3DAlign/assemblies, Solids, Surfaces, Meshes, and Gizmos for editing. If you used AutoCAD 3D in the past, attend this session and get ready to be surprised!
