Autocad 2009 For Interior Design And Space Planning

Organized around architectural projects, AutoCAD for Interior Design and Space Planning gives readers an understanding of the commands and features of AutoCAD 2009 and demonstrates how to use the program to complete interior design and space planning projects. Building on twelve years of updates, the book is appropriate for self-paced and lecture classes and covers both two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings. Using numerous illustrations, the book captures the essence of this powerful program and the importance it plays in the interior design, architecture and space planning professions.

For freshman/sophomore-level courses in Basic Computer-Aided Design/Drafting, Basic Interior Architectural Computer-Aided Design, and Facilities Computer-Aided Design. Written specifically for interior designers, this text helps students learn AutoCAD by actually using it in planning and designing a wide variety of realistic interiors. Using a non-technical writing style and hands-on PROMPT/RESPONSE tutorial approach, it takes students step-by-step through the creation of all of the drawings necessary for a space planning project (Tenant Space Project) from floor plans, elevations, and furniture planning, through power and lighting plans, to isometric and three-dimensional drawings.

Get Productive Fast with AutoCAD 2022: Master the Newest AutoCAD Features and Interface In this guide, expert AutoCAD instructors and practitioners show how to efficiently use AutoCAD 2022's powerful features in any interior design, architecture, or space planning project. Covering both 2D and 3D drawings, the authors walk you step-by-step through using AutoCAD 2022 prompts and commands, and fully mastering AutoCAD's current interface, including the revised Start tab and floating Drawing tabs. AutoCAD 2022 for Interior Design and Space Planning has been thoroughly updated to reflect changes since AutoCAD 2015, from importing content with DesignCenter to creating solid modeling walkthroughs with 3DWALK and Animation Motion. It's packed with features for better classroom and self-paced learning: 600+ updated illustrations and 100+ exercises demonstrating AutoCAD's role in modern interior design, architecture, and space planning Moves from basic commands to complex drawings, helping learners build on what they've learned and quickly get productive Numbered step-by-step exercises help students learn in realistic situations, and then practice on their own Includes drawing layouts, plotting drawings, and using architectural scales to measure distances Several projects guide learners to create a tenant space, a hotel room, lecture and conference rooms, and a wheelchair-accessible commercial restroom appropriate for interior design, space planning, and architecture students

• No prior AutoCAD experience is required • Created specifically for interior designers and classroom use • Uses interior space planning tutorials • Focused around a hotel suite project • Covers AutoCAD for both Macs and PCs Focused around a hotel suite project, AutoCAD 2024 for the Interior Designer provides the Interior Design student with a non-intimidating, tutorial based approach to learning the AutoCAD program. It accomplishes this by taking students that have no computer design experience from simple commands to complete projects in this single-semester sized text. This well organized and progressive approach to learning AutoCAD sets this text apart from others. To support all users, this book covers AutoCAD for both Macs and PCs. The emphasis of this book is on easy to understand descriptions and instructions, allowing the non-technical, artistic, visual learning Interior Design student to quickly get past the fear of using the computer to produce drawings. The focus is entirely on the use of AutoCAD for the Interior Design field and not simply architectural drawings. Chapters alternate between command descriptions, which are organized by a command set category, and tutorials. This allows students to easily refer back to command descriptions without hunting through a tutorial that introduces commands as it progresses. The emphasis is on the practical use of commands using the AutoCAD ribbon workspace, rather than the multiple (and seldom used) command options. Multiple tutorials of the hotel suite, which include floor plan, elevation views, dimensioning, and plotting, provide a practical application of the commands learned in the preceding chapters. Completely dimensioned drawings are provided at the beginning of each tutorial so that the advanced student, or an instructor led class, can complete them without going through the step-by-step process. This textbook is classroom proven, and relevant interior design homework problems are provided. After completing this book, the student will be able to create all their 2-D Interior Design work using AutoCAD.

"AutoCAD 2009 for Architects and Interior Designers is a step-by-step training guide for students of architecture and interior design. This text covers the AutoCAD commands needed to construct furniture drawings, kitchen plans, interior elevations, building elevations, and site plans. Students who are new to CAD can easily understand this book. The novice will master AutoCAD commands while creating architectural and interior design drawings." --Book Jacket.

'AutoCAD 2009 for Interior Design' provides students with the necessary experience and practice to produce and illustrate complex 3D interior components and furnished spaces in an amount of time that will allow additional studio projects to be completed in the course of one semester.
