SDC Short Courses CAD for Interior Designers Syllabus
AutoCAD is an essential tool in the Interior design industry. The computer programme generates drawings, which are accurate and neat. This entry level course targets those with little or no previous AutoCAD experience or those with a need for substantial upgrading from previous non-Windows environment versions of AutoCAD. Students will learn the basics of CAD geometry creation and manipulation using a variety of computer command inputs including keyboard shortcuts, toolbox icons and mouse menu selection. It also allows for revisions to be made with ease. This course will introduce you to AutoCAD and familiarise you with the workspaces. It will also introduce you to the basic drawing components of the programme as well as the modifying tool, which assists in adjusting items, which are already drawn. This is an integral part of the drawing process exploring these tools and their functioning. Students will learn the fundamentals of rendering in 3D and cover all aspects such as lighting, the sun, camera views, materials and visual styles in order to create 2D renderings of a 3D model. The aim of this course is to apply finishes and lighting to your 3D model to make it look as realistic as possible.
