For courses in AutoCAD for Interior Design.

This richly illustrated book arms interior design students with solid, practical know-how and step-by-step AutoCAD instruction. It is organized around a series of tasks and combines explanations of AutoCAD commands with practical systematic drafting procedures. This edition introduces Architectural Desktop (so students can learn the difference between the two systems), includes a new design project, and offers a new chapter on the reflected ceiling plan and schedule. Its emphasis on professional applications and balance of coverage leaves readers with a set of skills that can be used immediately in school or in the profession.

Features:

A focus on interior design applications – is a hallmark of this text.
  • Provides detailed step-by-step instructions and examples that are specific to interior design students.

A balance of 2D and 3D coverage – appears throughout the book.
  • Discusses simple and more advanced techniques in a meaningful and manageable way.
  • Organizes discussion around a series of tasks of creating 2D drawings and schedules, 3d model, and rendered images of a representative interior space.
Project/task-driven tutorial – adds meaningful context to chapter material.
  • Explains AutoCAD commands in the context of interior design, making material more relevant to the design student.
New to this Edition:
