AutoCAD Architecture is “AutoCAD optimized for architecture”. In addition to all of 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 facilities maintenance.
To meet the needs of different students, we have divided the training materials for this complex application into two courses. AutoCAD Architecture 2010 Fundamentals focuses on the design development and construction documentation features of AutoCAD Architecture—the basic tools that the majority of students will need in their work. AutoCAD Architecture 2010 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.
The AutoCAD Architecture 2010 Advanced class is intended primarily for architects and other advanced students who need the ability to design massing studies or space studies, or to customize settings in the AutoCAD Architecture environment. Main topics covered 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 2010 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).
