Résumé

This revised edition of 3D Modeling in AutoCAD features detailed descriptions of the 3D design and drafting enhancements provided in the latest version of AutoCAD. As with the earlier edition, the author fully explains the concepts and principles of the program's 3D features and provides useful illustrations, examples, and hands-on exercises. Descriptions of every 3D command, going far beyond AutoCAD's onscreen help and program manuals, guide readers through working with 3D wireframe models in 3D space, building surface models, solid modeling, 2D output and paper space, and rendering from 3D models.
