Modelling with AutoCAD is intended to take the CAD user familiar with 2D work on to the more stimulating challenges of 3D modelling. It begins with an introduction to wire frame models and uses this as the basis for progressing on to surface models and then solid models. It also explains the concepts of multiple viewports and model and paper space. Fully up to date and designed for Release 13 for Windows, this highly interactive learning resource will be valuable to students on a range of further and higher education CAD courses. Professionals working in industry will also find it a valuable reference text. Accessible and popular style Tutorial format aids learning Designed for use with Release 13 for Windows Bob McFarlane is an AutoDESK Educational Developer

One of the most important tools in engineering and construction is the ability to produce and manipulate 3D figures. Modelling with AutoCAD 2000, written by a leading authority in the field takes you step-by-step through the key techniques. Topics covered in this textbook include developments in wire-frame models, surface models and solid models, and introduces the concept of multiple viewports. In addition, Modelling with AutoCAD 2000 introduces the reader to rendering and shows how such techniques can be used to produce professional drawings of high quality. Simplifies the difficult topic of modelling and introduces renderingFrom the market-leading and respected Bob McFarlane Maximises the potential of Release 2000 and covers 3 different types of model: wire frame, surface and solid

This book follows the introduction of AutoCAD Release 14, and is intended for the R14 user who wants to learn about modeling. It is designed to demonstrate how the user can create 3D wire-frame models, surface models, and solid models with practical exercises backed up by user activities. All of the exercises have been completed/tested using Release 14.

A guide to learning how to use the full two-dimensional and three-dimensional drafting capabilities of AutoCAD, Release 13. The activity-based, task-oriented tutorial is organized around a series of AutoCAD drawing exercises that reflect the new features and flavour of Release 13. Topics covered include: multiline text; dimensioning, increased use of dialogue boxes; multilines; object grouping; new solid modelling commands; and rendering. Electronic solutions manuals (on disk) are available separately.

This book provides advanced instruction to mastering AutoCAD Release 13 for Windows commands and techniques. Extensive 3-D applications, solid modeling, rendering, and customization are clearly presented with an abundance of exercises, review material, and real-world drawing problems.

Ideal for all AutoCAD users upgrading to Release 14, `Modelling with AutoCAD R14' follows on from the basic skills learned in 'Beginning AutoCAD R14'. Users of the new Release 14 will find McFarlane's experience and accessible style will guide them effortlessly through creating 3D wire-frame models, solid models and surface models. Practical exercises are backed up with user activities. The concept of creating multiple viewpoints is discussed as well as modelling concepts, the VIEW and DRAW commands. This book will be invaluable to students of further and higher education requiring 3D draughting and solid modelling skills and professionals in industry upgrading their skills to Release 14.
