There is a lot of technical knowledge required to get success with 3D CAD.
A course-book has been created to support the CAD challenges provided below, with over 70 questions included. An A3 Imposed-Page version is provided here, for easy duplex printing. |
I have a series of videos covering the modelling techniques in this unit. If you are using Parametric CAD, the processes and approaches are generally the same regardless of the platform you are using.
If you want specific versions made, you can email me and I will see what I can do. :) These are also available on YouTube. Vertical Divider

Before starting these videos, you should have some basic familiarity with 3D CAD. If not, you may want to complete the series of orthographic blocks in the Technical Graphics section.
These videos are made using Autodesk Inventor, but the principles are generally the same for any parametric CAD platform. Hook | Extrude CAD Challenge
