1 NASHVILLE STATE TECHNICAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE COURSE INFORMATION Date Revised: November 2007 By: Bryan Evans CAD 2113 AUTOCAD 3-D MODELING & SOLID MODELING 3 Credits 2 Class Hours, 2 Lab Hours This is an advanced level course using the AutoCAD software. 3-D drafting techniques are used in all fields of design and this course provides the student with a very desirable skill. Topics include learning to think in three dimensions, the creation of three-dimensional objects, as well as standard drafting versus 3-D techniques. Students will leave this course with the ability to design and create 3-D Objects, then present them as picture images and design prints. Prerequisite: CAD 1200 COMPUTER USAGE: This is a computer-based drawing course. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: 1. Navigate and understand 3-D Space in Drawings 2. Create and use 3-D drawing planes. 3. Understand and create 3-D primitives and 3-D Parametric objects 4. Print 3D objects in shaded color and as traditional drawings. 5. Create a 3D assembly in parts and as a whole. TEXTBOOK: A reference is required but is left to the student s discretion as to which book they prefer. Nashville State Technical Community College Departmental Policies for all classes in all Engineering Technology programs is a part of this document. 1

The standards expected and the level of quality of meeting those standards are stated with the assignment. Grading Policy: 50% Projects and Tests 15% Discussion and Participation 25% Three Dimensional Model(s) 10% Attendance 4

5 Final Project Requirements Minimum: Project to include Surface or Solid Modeled Figure It must include the following: 2 views created with VPOINT or ORBIT and saved. 2 views created using Normal DVIEW and saved. 1 view created using DVIEW with perspective and saved. 3 UCS's, saved. Plotted using Paperspace (Layout Tab) with multiple ports. Hidden Lines removed on some, if not all, views (Paperspace view ports not viable). Save drawings with Paperspace settings intact. Extra credit for dimensions using Paperspace at various scales. Turn in on disk, plotting is not required to be any particular size. 1 or 2 rendered images saved as.jpg or.tga files for each project. Surface model must include entities created with at least 4 different commands. The drawing must be of moderate complexity and be of some type of a design not just examples of the commands. The final plotting must be plotted as a usable plot, dimensions are not necessary but the lines must be clear and hidden.
