AutoCAD 2008 3D Modeling Workbook For Dummies Book/DVD Package
* AutoCAD 2007 features a new 3D rendering engine that greatly enhances the program's 3D functionality-and makes this industry-standard drafting program even more difficult to master, even for veteran users
* This focused For Dummies workbook gives people the practice they need to get up to speed on the new
3D features, with dozens of problems and step-by-step solutions for modeling, shadowing, and lighting
* Topics covered by the problems include 2D geometric construction, 3D solid modeling, 3D surface modeling, rendering and imaging, dimensioning and drafting, and model interchange
* Used by architects, engineers, and draftspeople, AutoCAD is the #1 computer-aided design (CAD) software in the world, with an installed base of 6.7 million users
* The accompanying DVD provides videos that illustrate select problems and solutions presented in the workbook
