Course Description

Most planners and designers don't use just one drawing or visualization program. In this course you'll learn how to create 3D drawings in AutoCAD and how to use AutoCAD in concert with other programs, such as Adobe Illustrator and Sketchup, to create illustrative plan, section, and perspective views. You’ll learn how to create massing models, prepare your final design documents for professional printing, and share your drawings and designs for collaborative work.
