For advanced courses in Computer-Aided Architectural Design, and for sophomore-level courses in Architectural Drafting, Interior Design, and Environmental Design, using Architectural Desktop.

This versatile text can be used to teach Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3 in both lecture and self-paced classes. Application chapters make the book suitable for advanced classes.

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.
