# 3D Modeling in AutoCAD

Canonical URL: <https://www.creativelive.com/classes/autocad-3dmodeling>

## Overview

AutoCAD is a powerful application for creating detailed 3D models of objects and designs. With AutoCAD, you can build complex forms and add intricate details using a wide range of tools and features. You can also manipulate 3D models by rotating, scaling, and moving individual parts, as well as applying colors, materials, and lighting effects.

In this course, you will learn best practices for 3D modeling while building on your knowledge of the AutoCAD interface to create advanced 3D models. This course is designed for students who are already comfortable using AutoCAD commands for 2D drafting.
