DataCAD Users Guide to AutoCAD ----- 10 am - 12 pm - First Session ---- $ 40
This, actually, is a course in AutoCAD for those who are familiar with DataCAD. It takes the assumption that the architect only needs AutoCAD to supplement the primary work done in DataCAD for various reasons, and to facilitate doing file transfers in house. In particular, this seminar will go over issues of PaperSpace Layouts and External Reference files (xrefs), how they are set up and used and why they are critical to the offices that use them. It will go over a quick way Prof. Langdon has developed to help a DataCAD user easily become facile with the various flavors of AutoCAD they may encounter in consultants offices. It will show the DataCAD user what is essentially the same, what is similar but just named differently, what is truely different in conceptual approach, and help you avoid the time-wasting pitfalls of some of the many strange glitches of AutoCAD.
This is not a course in architectural add-on packages. The most recent one of those - AutoCAD ArchitecturalDesktop2 will be a topic later in the DBUG meeting.
Web Page Creation for DataCAD Users ---- 12:05 pm - 1:05 pm - Second Session ----- $ 20
This one hour seminar is oriented to DataCAD users who wish to get started with their web sites both for marketing reasons, and, more importantly, as a means of file transfer in the form of Project Specific Web sites. It will go over how to get free and commercial web-writing software, converting DataCAD files to Web pictures, how to get your photos on web pages, using web pages to transfer DataCAD dc5 drawing files, and the various graphic file formats (gif, jpeg, pdf, bmp, animated gifs, mov, etc.) as well as how to create them.
Beginning 3D Modeling in DataCAD ---- 1:10 pm - 3:10 pm - Third Session --------- $ 40
This two hour seminar will be help architects get started with the easy way to do 3D modeling in DataCAD. This seminar shows a number of simple techniques with DataCAD's 3D Blocks, Slabs and Voids, with with you can model most things. 3D Go-To-Views, building roofs, stairs, massing models, and interior studies.
Advanced 3D Modeling in DataCAD ---- 3:15 pm - 5:15 pm - Fourth Session ----- $ 40
This two hour seminar, for those who are familiar with the techniques of Blocks and Slabs with Voids, shows a number of advanced tips and tricks to solve more complex 3D modeling problems. With the techniques included in this seminar, you should be able to model just about anything. Curves within curves, complex roofs, how to slice sections with Clip-Cubes, setting construction planes, 3D PowerTools, and preparing a model for rendering.
The DataCAD seminars are each $ 40 if registered in advance with the Registration Form which is preferred, or $ 45 at the door, except for the Web Page seminar, which is $ 20 advance, $25 at the door.
