Course Overview
Introduces the concept of three-dimensional computer-based modeling using Fusion360 and Revit as tools in the design and manufacture of artifacts. Presents various means of producing, viewing and employing models. The course is comprised of two units. Unit one is focused on Fusion360, including: forming basic extruded shapes; shape manipulation; shells, ribs, revolves, patterns, sweeps, lofts; sheet metal patterns; assemblies; animations; engineering drawings; design, 3d-printing and assembly of a simple moving object. Unit two is focused on Revit and will include these 3D architectural design elements: structures, footings, foundation walls, wall construction, slabs, and roofs; animated walk-throughs; fully rendered drawings; engineering drawings suitable for manufacture; creation of a 3D scale model of a complete home.
