AutoCAD: 3D Skills
SquareOne Training's AutoCAD 3D Skills training course will teach you how to become an expert in 3D modelling. On this course, you will learn advanced techniques for creating, editing, and visualising 3D objects. The course covers essential topics such as 3D coordinate systems, solid modeling, surface modeling, and rendering techniques.
With hands-on exercises and real-world projects, you will gain practical experience in navigating AutoCAD’s 3D environment. By the end of the course, you will be equipped to tackle complex design challenges and elevate your projects with sophisticated 3D representations and will be able to produce high-quality designs that meet industry standards.
