AutoCAD, Revit and SolidWorks

Yes, GTCC offers a series of three AutoCAD and Revit courses in the most current software. The three courses are intended to be taken to build CAD skills from introduction toward 3-D drawings. Autodesk 2020 software is used in GTCC computer labs.

AutoCAD Basics & Productivity – DFT 3100

The objective of AutoCAD Basics is to learn basic commands of the AutoCAD software, create, modify, and work with 2-D drawings with the AutoCAD software, and be able to navigate through the software comfortably. Some of the topics will include, application and ribbon menus, coordinate entry, draw tools, modify tools, layers setup, layouts, and viewports.

Recommended prerequisites: Basic skills in computer keyboard, screen navigation, and file management.

Textbook Required: Purchase the textbook at the Cameron bookstore for the AutoCad Basic & Productivity class: ISBN: 9789970047307.

AutoDesk Inventor – DFT 3100

AutoDesk Inventor 3-D CAD software offers an easy-to-use set of tools for 3-D mechanical design, documentation, and product simulation. In this introductory course, students acquire the knowledge needed to complete the process of designing models from conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production. This course is intended as an introductory training guide. AutoDesk Inventor Fundamentals does not assume prior knowledge of any 3-D modeling or CAD software. Students need to be experienced with the Windows operating system, and a background in drafting 3-D parts is recommended.

Required textbook: AutoDesk Inventor 2022; ISBN: 9781630574413

AutoDesk Revit – DFT 3100

The objective of the AutoDesk Revit Fundamentals for Architecture course is to enable you to create a full 3-D architectural project model, including walls, doors, windows, components, floors, ceilings, roofs, and stairs, using the basic tools that the majority of architectural user's needs. This includes how to navigate the user interface and use the basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools.

Required textbook: Autodesk Revit Training Manual; ISBN:9780831136215

AutoDesk Revit Advanced – DFT 3100

The objective of the AutoDesk Revit Fundamentals for Architecture course is to enable students to learn more in-depth Revit functions, such as adding wall sweeps, adding columns and column grids, adding wall colors and textures, and images. Importing AutoCAD files, PDF files, and .jpeg files for 3D creation. Students will learn how to customize stairs, windows, and roofs. This course will enhance your Revit knowledge. No textbook is required.

Recommended prerequisites: AutoDesk Revit, DFT-3100A

Solidworks – DFT 3100

Introduces SolidWorks software as a 3-D design tool. Covers creation, retrieval, and modification of 3-D and layout drawings using basic SolidWorks commands. Includes skills needed to create parametric models of parts and assemblies and generate dimensioned layouts.

Required textbook: Autodesk Revit Training Manual; ISBN:9781630575472
