ARCH2351 Architectural CAD: 3D AutoCAD (On Hold)
This course is an introduction to 3-dimensional drawing using AutoCAD software. Class sessions will introduce the student to 3D coordinate systems, methods of viewing 3D objects, creating 3D wireframe, surface and solid models, and rendering 3D objects. There will be drawing assignments with each lecture followed by a final lab project. A basic knowledge of AutoCAD is necessary.
Prerequisite
