This versatile text can be used to teach Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2004 in both lecture and self-paced classes. Application chapters make the book suitable for advanced classes. Unlike other texts—which teach isolated commands—this text enables students to relate commands to producing drawings, presenting topics in the order in which they are actually used. Numerous conceptual, modeling, drawing, dimensioning, and documentation exercises are provided throughout. For those who find the program puzzling, this book takes a common sense approach. It provides clear, concise CAD information because it is written by an architect and educator who uses the program in professional practice and who teaches the program to students.
