gui customization
10.03.18
In this tutorial we show you how to customize the layout inside of AutoCAD. This tutorial is intended to give you the knowledge to configure the visual layout of AutoCAD with its icons, buttons, and workspaces to your personal preferences. Once you have configured your layout you will have the ability to use AutoCAD very, very quickly.

There are many ways to create 3D solids in AutoCAD. Some of these ways might be more fitting for a specific concept of yours. This video covers four primary methods for making 3D objects out of 2D objects. They begin with some sketches of a plan and two sections that might lend themselves to specific operations for creating solids. I hope this inspires as well as instructs you.
modeling buildings
09.11.19
In this tutorial we show you how to pull files together to effectively model buildings in AutoCAD. We will show you how to import images and use them as the basis for your solid geometry. We will post other videos on how to use AutoCAD to model buildings where the end product is unknown to complete the knowledge base.
We will also follow up with this video showing how to import the model into 3DS Max for rendering purposes.
plot styles
09.11.17
In this tutorial we will cover how to create plot styles from scratch in AutoCAD. We will cover the basics of creating a plot style based on colors that have a preset line weight assigned to them. We will create the plot style and show how to assign a line weight to a line color. We also will show how to create layers with these colors assigned to them and apply them to the drawing.
After watching this tutorial you will be able to create your own custom plot styles and edit them as needed for both presentation drawings as well as construction drawings.
topo creation
09.11.05
In this tutorial we will cover how to create a solid 3D model using imported GIS data. This video will feature the following concepts, line, polylines, lofting, and moving lines in three dimensions. We are going to take flat 2D lines, convert them into polylines, move them in the Z axis, and loft them together to make a solid model.
These models can be exported to be milled or printed in 3D from AutoCAD, however, the ideal process would be to import the models into 3DS Max to manipulate them to accommodate your intervention.
