# 3D Modeling in AutoCAD Canonical URL: ## Overview AutoCAD is a powerful tool that allows users to create detailed 3D models of objects or designs. With AutoCAD, you can create complex 3D shapes and add intricate details to models using various tools and features. You can also use AutoCAD to manipulate 3D models by rotating, scaling, or moving individual parts, as well as adding colors, textures, and lighting effects. In this course, you will learn best practices in 3D modeling and build upon your knowledge of the AutoCAD interface to complete advanced 3D models. The course is designed for students who are proficient with the commands for 2D drawings in the AutoCAD software. ## What you'll learn - Creating simple solids and surfaces from 2D objects - Modifying and editing in 3D space - Visualization, point clouds, and refining the view ## Prerequisites Participants should be proficient in using commands for 2D drawings in AutoCAD, with knowledge equivalent to the [AutoCAD Bootcamp](/classes/autocad-bootcamp). ## Curriculum #### 3D Foundations #### Simple Solids #### Working with the User Coordinate System #### Creating Solids & Surfaces from 2D Objects #### Modifying in 3D Space #### Advanced Solid Editing #### Additional Editing Tools #### Refining the View #### Point Clouds #### Visualization #### Working Drawings from 3D Models ## Schedule - Oct 13, 2026 – Oct 15, 2026 — NYC ## Instructors ### Dan Perico — Instructor Dan Perico has been teaching computer graphics programs since the mid-1990s, including Autocad, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, InDesign, After Effects, and PowerPoint, and is an Autocad Certified Professional.
