World-class AutoCAD expert Steve Heather, co-author with Cheryl
Shrock of the Beginning AutoCAD Exercise Workbook, Advanced
AutoCAD Exercise Workbook, and the AutoCAD Pocket
Reference, has written this ground-breaking text, covering
step-by-step 3D applications for all AutoCAD users.
The AutoCAD® 3D Modeling Exercise Workbook is
designed for classroom instruction and self-study alike, and is
suitable for both inch and metric users. There are 8 lessons and 4
modeling projects, all of which are heavily illustrated, for visual
learners. Each lesson starts with step-by-step instructions on how
to create 3D solid models, followed by exercises designed for
practicing the commands readers learned within that lesson. The
modeling projects are designed so that users can create complex 3D
models by combining many of the commands learned within the
previous lessons. Downloadable sample files are provided to
accompany some of the lessons and modeling projects, so readers can
follow along and customize their creations to suit their own needs.
Written by Steve Heather, bestselling author and official Beta
Tester of AutoCAD software, this is an invaluable resource for the
thousands of designers, architects, and manufacturers who are using
AutoCAD to create their own 3D models and transfer them to a 3D
printer for manufacturing and use in the real world. If you
want to learn more about cutting-edge 3D design, printing, and more
using AutoCAD, the AutoCAD 3D Modeling Exercise
Workbook is for you. Read what author Steve Heather has to
