This Fundamentals text introduces the beginning student to Autodesk's Architectural Desktop software. The text covers the Layer Manager, Design Center, Structural Members, Doors, Windows, and Walls. Step by Step lessons take the student from creation of a site plan, floor plan, space planning, elevations, all the way through to creating a video of the finished building - a standard three bedroom, two bathroom residence. Students are provided with in-depth coverage of toolbars, dialog boxes and commands. Educators will appreciate the quizzes and practice exam included in the text.
