This course is an extension to the AutoCAD Essentials. The participants will be given an exposure into the 3D capabilities of AutoCAD. The coverage mainly encompasses the various boolean, navigation and editing commands. They will also better appreciate regions, surfaces and solids.

At the end of this course participants should be able to:

• Building 3D objects in AutoCAD
  
• Identifying solids, surface and regions.
  
• Editing 3D objects in AutoCAD.
  
• Rendering 3D Objects, applying envionment effects, lightings and creating scenes.
  
• Understanding raster images and their advantages.
  
• Differentiating the model space and paper space and applying dimensioning to them.
  
• Using and understanding batch plotting
  
• Sharing AutoCAD drawings on the internet.

General public and industry specific personal who want to gain better product knowledge.
