3D Modeling in AutoCAD
via Noble Desktop
Affiliated with Course Report
Move from 2D drafting into three-dimensional work in Noble Desktop's AutoCAD course. The curriculum covers creating solids and surfaces from 2D objects, editing in 3D space, and adjusting visualization. You practice controlling the model and its view, including techniques used to inspect and refine three-dimensional geometry.
What's included with live classes
- AutoCAD software (1 month)
- Free course retake within one year to refresh the material and gain practice.
- Class recordings
Overview
AutoCAD is a powerful tool that allows users to create detailed 3D models of objects or designs. With AutoCAD, you can create complex 3D shapes and add intricate details to models using various tools and features. You can also use AutoCAD to manipulate 3D models by rotating, scaling, or moving individual parts, as well as adding colors, textures, and lighting effects.
In this course, you will learn best practices in 3D modeling and build upon your knowledge of the AutoCAD interface to complete advanced 3D models. The course is designed for students who are proficient with the commands for 2D drawings in the AutoCAD software.
Prerequisites
Participants should be proficient in using commands for 2D drawings in AutoCAD, with knowledge equivalent to the AutoCAD Bootcamp.

Course Reviews
Is this course right for you?
You should already be proficient with AutoCAD's 2D drawing commands. Choose this course for a 3D specialization after that foundation. Compare the selected VDCI AutoCAD course if you still need broader introductory drafting instruction.
