AutoCAD Architecture is “AutoCAD optimized for
architecture.” In addition to all the standard
AutoCAD tools, it offers a host of features to greatly
increase the speed and efficiency of architectural drawings.
The software is designed to work from first concept (conceptual
design or mass model) all the way through to design development,
working drawings, and facility maintenance.
AutoCAD Architecture 2008 Advanced focuses on conceptual
design in the sense of massing studies and space planning
as well as several more advanced features for greater control
over the program. This course is intended primarily for
architects and other advanced students who need
to design massing studies or space studies, or customize
settings in the AutoCAD Architecture environment.
Topics
include:
•
Understanding
the Style Manager.
•
Using
advanced wall and section/elevation tools.
•
Managing
drawings with projects and applying project standards.
•
Creating
massing studies with mass elements and mass groups.
•
Using
spaces and areas to develop a building design.
•
Defining
multi-view blocks and creating custom content.
•
Creating
styles for AEC objects including walls, doors, windows,
and curtain walls as well as annotation object styles.
•
Customizing
layer properties and the display system.
Prerequisites: Students
should complete the AutoCAD Architecture Fundamentals course,
or have equivalent experience with the software, before
taking this class. They also need a solid background in
AutoCAD, since AutoCAD tools and concepts will be essential
for working with AutoCAD Architecture. In particular, students
should be familiar with basic 3D viewing tools (preset
viewpoints, 3D Orbit, and shading options), layouts, and
xrefs (used in AutoCAD Architecture projects).
