Design Your Own Home 2D Elevation Step-By-Step In Autocad

Learn AutoCAD in Doing Real Life Design Project Step-by-Step

What you'll learn

You will be able to create your own home 2D building design in steps. This is a practical drawing project using AutoCAD of any version.

You will learn the basic concepts of AutoCAD as you apply them to real life project. You will be learning the basic tools while applying them at the same time.

You will learn how to manipulate drawings and produce simple to complex shapes as you draw along.

You will learn how to print your drawing to PDF for a client, or for student drawing submission.

This is a "Draw With Me Drawing Project", so you are not learning CAD tools in isolation. You will produce a drawing project from start to finish.

You will be able to download AutoCAD for free as a student or staff. This course will show you step-by-step on how to complete the download.

Requirements

There is no requirement in taking this course, even if you have not used AutoCAD before. The project will show you step-by-step on how to achieve all the drawing objectives.

But prior to completing the drawing, you will require to download AutoCAD, which is part of the course content.

No AutoCAD or CAD knowledge required. You will learn every tool that requires you to complete the project.

Description

You do not need so many hours to understand how CAD design is structured. This course video will show you practical way to learn CAD like AutoCAD using simple project that will enable you to understand how to use the tools, and applying them to real life project as you draw along with the video project. You will learn how to draw doors, windows, roofs, garage door, balcony, columns, beams, sills, and other building elements. In this video course project, you will learn how to draw and design your own 2D home elevation step-by-step. This project is an architectural drawing. And you can also use CAD software like Revit, AutoCAD Architectural, ArchiCAD, Sketchup, freeCAD, and so on to accomplish the project drawing produced in this video. The most important thing is the project drawing, and not the software used in achieving it. This project had been done by students in my different workshops and seminars, so you will hear me talking to some group of participants, and students, don't worry, just concentrate on your own learning path.To get the best out of this video course project, it is important that you download AutoCAD for Free as a student or staff. I have shown the step by step download guide in video 2 of the course. The video course have been divided in sections to make it easier for the learner to follow. You can go back to the video at any time to repeat the drawing process, until you understand how to produce them yourself without help.
