Take your drawings from 2D to 3D with AutoCAD. In this course, instructor Scott Onstott helps you build your AutoCAD 2019 skills, one video at a time, as he steps through how to construct a 3D model. Scott shows how to extrude 2D plans into solid objects, cut out wall openings and add doors and windows, build 3D staircases, and model a complex roof surface. He also demonstrates how to create a 3D tower and sculpt the surrounding landscape with NURBS surfaces. At the end of this course, you'll have modeled a complete 3D community center based on an archetypal midcentury design.

Topics include:

Arranging elevations and sections around a plan

Rotating objects in 3D

Extruding walls, interior partitions, and headers

Building slabs

Modeling doors, windows, and stairs

Sculpting terrain

Creating a second floor

Building roof surfaces

Sculpting solids from regions and surfaces

Modeling a tower
