# CAD Detailing (Self-Paced)

Canonical URL: <https://www.creativelive.com/classes/cad-detailing>

## Overview

The CAD Detailing course teaches how to create detailed drawings for construction documents using the two primary methods employed in architectural and engineering firms. You will learn to create details from scratch, reference and clip relevant information from external drawings, and organize those details into professional deliverable sheet files. The course also emphasizes advanced skills in layer management, model and layout environments, and multi-scale drawing presentations.

- **Create Detail Drawings for Construction Projects: ** Learn to draft architectural detail drawings directly related to your course project. You will practice both creating details from scratch and referencing existing drawings to incorporate necessary components into your design.
- **Generate Sheet Files with Integrated Details: ** Learn how to build deliverable sheet files by referencing detail drawings at multiple scales into organized layouts. This process ensures complete and coordinated construction documentation.
- **Integrate Referenced Files for Documentation: ** Master the integration of referenced files to build accurate and consistent construction details. This technique enables you to pull critical components from other drawings while maintaining clarity and uniformity.
- **Advanced Skills for Layer Management and Plotting: ** Strengthen intermediate to advanced skills in layer management, plotting techniques, and multi-scale drawing presentations, key tools for producing clear, professional construction documents.
