3D Production Drafting & Presentation with AutoCAD 2002(Book & CD-ROM)

This book emphasizes one underlying and unique approach to all manufacturing and construction projects-the design, documentation, visualization, and presentation of any object or project should all be from one three-dimensional data set. The development of both working drawings and presentation renderings are covered with a blend of theory and follow-along tutorials that provide students with comprehensive explanations of AutoCAD's visualization tools and the AutoCAD renderer. Chapter topics offer an introduction and explanation of how to use the book, then explore two dimensional representation, view, solid modeler, user coordinate system control, editing 3D objects, geometry, surface modeler, multiple views from a model, three-dimensional architectural details, perspective, and render. For AutoCAD designers and technicians.
