Interior Design using AutoCAD 2007

This textbook is an intermediate level tutorial which uses commercial interior design exercises as the means to teach AutoCAD 2007. The student begins a campus library floor plan. Using step-by-step tutorial lessons, the library project is followed through to create FFE plans, interior elevations, schedules, and details. Throughout the project, new AutoCAD commands and design concepts are covered at the appropriate time. Focus is placed on the most essential parts of a command rather than an exhaustive review of every sub-feature of a particular command.

This book is the ideal CAD Level 2 classroom textbook. The student is expected to be familiar with the most basic AutoCAD command (basic draw and modify tools).

An Instructor’s Resource Guide is available with this book. It contains:
