Description
One of the most important tools in engineering and construction is the ability to produce and manipulate 3D figures. Modelling with AutoCAD 2000, written by a leading authority in the field takes you step-by-step through the key techniques. Topics covered in this textbook include developments in wire-frame models, surface models and solid models, and introduces the concept of multiple viewports. In addition, Modelling with AutoCAD 2000 introduces the reader to rendering and shows how such techniques can be used to produce professional drawings of high quality.
