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 both metric and imperial units to illustrate the myriad tools for this popular application. Use the companion files to set up drawing exercises and projects and see all of the book’s figures including color (Files are available for free downloading with Amazon proof of purchase). AutoCAD 2024 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 full projects (architectural and mechanical) from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2024.

This book discusses the 3D environment and commands in AutoCAD 2024. Many AutoCAD users do not know the real capabilities of AutoCAD in 3D, leading them to use other software, such as 3ds MAX® or Maya®, to build their 3D models, create lights, load materials, and assign materials, and then create still rendered images and animation. This book aims to clear up this misleading idea about AutoCAD and to introduce the real power of AutoCAD in 3D. At the completion of this book, the reader will be able to:

• Understand the AutoCAD 3D environment
• Create 3D objects using solids
• Create 3D objects using meshes
• Create 3D objects using surfaces
• Create complex solids and surfaces
• Edit solids and use other general 3D modifying commands
• Convert 3D objects from one type to another
• Create 2D/3D sections from 3D solids
• Use model documentation
• Create 3D DWF files
• Create cameras and lights
• Assign material and create rendered images
• Use and create visual styles
• Create animation files
