knowledge with this, or any CAD program, is assumed. We’ll do parametric,
direct, solid, surface, freeform and sheet metal modeling, make an assembly
with joints, and do a bit with the mesh and generative design spaces. We’ll
make 3D documentation drawings from a project and run another project
through the CAM workspace. We’ll design projects from scratch, make them
from imported sketches, and edit downloaded files. We’ll also discuss best
practices for optimizing a digital model for 3D printing.
Chapters 1-8 contain general sketching, modeling and editing information
and small projects, so read them first. Chapters 9-12 contain larger projects ...
