AutoCAD for Interior Design

 

Description:

Focused around a hotel suite project, AutoCAD for the Interior Designer provides the Interior Design student with a non-intimidating, live tutor led, approach to learning AutoCAD . It accomplishes this by taking students that have no computer design experience from simple commands to complete projects.  This well organized and progressive approach to learning AutoCAD sets this interior design class apart from any other.

 

Lessons alternate between command descriptions, which are organized by a command set category, and tutorials. This allows students to easily refer back to command descriptions without hunting through a tutorial that introduces commands as it progresses. The emphasis is on the practical use of commands used in the AutoCAD Classic workspace, rather than the multiple (and seldom used) command options.

 

Multiple tutorials of the hotel suite, which includes floor plan, elevation views, dimensioning, and plotting, provide a practical application of the commands learned in the preceding lessons. Completely dimensioned drawings are provided at the beginning of each tutorial so that the student can complete them without going through the step-by-step process.

Objective:

The emphasis of this AutoCAD for Interior Design training is on easy to understand descriptions and instructions, allowing the non-technical, artistic, visual learning Interior Design student to quickly get past the fear of using the computer to produce drawings.  The focus is entirely on the use of AutoCAD for the Interior Design field and not simply architectural drawings.

This class is industry proven and relevant interior design homework problems are provided. After completing this class, the student will be able to create all of their 2-D Interior Design work using AutoCAD.

prerequisites:

Working knowledge of drafting, design, or architecture design principles. Experience with Microsoft® Windows® No prior AutoCAD experience is required.


This class emphasizes the process of creating projects in AutoCAD,
rather than a series of independent commands and tools.

"This introductory course was one of the best investments I've made in my career.  I began with a long-held bias toward pencil and paper and a generational fear of computers.  After the first 4 hours with Rick, my eyes were opened to the advantages of working with CAD as a tool for interior designers.  I am a convert to the new technology and am looking forward to honing my skills." - Pam Pollack - CATBIRD Design
