Description
Elise Moss returns with an Intermediate textbook on Autodesk's
Architectural Desktop. The text assumes familiarity with the basic tools
within the software and takes you to the next level, with tutorials on layer
standards, creation of custom window assemblies and curtain walls, roof
slabs, roof miter tools, managing a multi-story commercial structure, using
mass elements for conceptual modeling, and more. Practice quizzes are
included at the end of each chapter to help focus the student on key points.
The book answers common technical support questions, such as: how to add a
handle to a door style; how to add an elevator; and how to make the pivot
point of a slab invisible.
Each tutorial comes with simple step by step instructions,
pictures and diagrams; lots of tips and tricks to help you boost
your productivity. For
users who want to get more out of their software, this book will become a
welcome desktop companion and guide.
