This book provides new and seasoned users with step-by-step procedures
on creating and modifying 3D models, working with cameras and lights,
assigning materials to objects, rendering, and printing. Unlike many
AutoCAD competitors, it uses "mixed units"- inches, meters, feet,
kilometers, etc., to illustrate the myriad tools for this popular
application. Use the companion DVD to set up drawing exercises and
projects, see all of the book's figures in color, and draw with a trial
version of AutoCAD 2012. AutoCAD 2012 3D Modeling includes 50
"mini-workshops," that complete small projects from concept through
actual plotting. Solving all of the workshops will simulate the creation
of four full projects (architectural and mechanical) from beginning to
end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in
AutoCAD 2012.
