Course details
AutoCAD is the leader in CAD drafting. AutoCAD Architecture is one of the toolsets available in one AutoCAD. Architecture adds a specialized toolset that allows architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals build more detailed construction drawings. Simple lines and arcs are replaced by intelligent windows, walls, and doors. Layer management is automated and simplified, and features like room tags and linked schedules make updates easy.
In this course, author Shaun Bryant takes you through the tools and techniques used by professional architects to build amazing structures with AutoCAD Architecture 2018. Learn how to lay out simple floor plans with wall objects, which automatically form clean joints, and add windows and doors that intelligently cut wall openings. Discover how to create stairs and railings, floors and ceilings, and roofs. Find out how to add furnishings, fixtures, lights, and textures to bring your designs to life. Shaun also shows you how to create views and sheets, complete with schedules and tags, and prepare your documentation for printing.
