Learn to create 3D models in CAD software from scratch quickly and efficiently. Learn the necessary skills if your looking to get into the area of Architectural Modelling & visualization. This course uses the free and open source 3D modelling software FreeCAD. This software has a large community of developers and users and its quickly becoming a powerful CAD alternative. If you’re looking for a free CAD 3D modelling software alternative then this course has you covered.
This course is a beginners guide to CAD modelling and takes a practical learning approach. The course uses a real world projects and covers the process of creating a 3D house model in FreeCAD. This model is then exported and rendered in the free and open source software Blender. The benefit of a project based course is that you get hands on experience using the 3D modelling tools within FreeCAD.
FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modelling software so making changes to models is very straight forward. No prior CAD knowledge is required and the course will take you step by step through the entire creation process.
The course begins by introducing the basics with explanations of the tools and interface. As the course progresses we work on the main project introducing new tools and workflows. We then move onto Blender for rendering the model and look at the process of sharing files between the two applications.
