The TurboCAD 3D Platinum training program takes the user into another dimension and is recommended for anyone who wishes to progress from 2D sketching and drawing methods into real-world 3D models.
It offers 8 step-by-step illustrated and video-animated WorkSessions covering an extensive range of 3D-designed solids, all produced with multiple view, print-ready layouts.
Each Tutorial-based Session provides a complete start-to-finish video animation of each Task, allowing the user to understand each topic clearly.
The Easiest Way to Learn 3D Computer-Aided Design with TurboCAD Each Sessions contains detailed, illustrated and video-animated instructions of a design, using a sequential, task-based structure.
Each design uses the recommended component-assembly method of designing and constructing solids. Modifications to each part are updated in real-time using the Part Tree History.
All designs are started and finished in the same Session, allowing you to produce multiple view, print-ready layouts of your drawings.
Some of the topics discussed and demonstrated in this Guide are :
A brief recap of the TurboCAD User Interface, Editor and Workspace Environment, including the Ribbon menu.
Setting up your design environment with frequently used Palettes such as the Design Director, Drafting Palette and Selection Info Palette.
A recap of frequently used 2D sketch and modification tools to assist with profile creation. Understanding Standard and Isometric Views, Workplanes and the User Coordinate System
Creating, modifying and extruding 2D open and closed profiles.
3D Primitive Objects such as Box, Rotated Box, Wedge, Sphere, Hemisphere, Torus, Cone, Cylinder, Polygonal Prism are discussed and demonstrated, complete with worked examples.
Profile-Based Objects such as multiple Extrusion methods, Lofting and Revolve tools are discussed and demonstrated, complete with worked examples.
Adding Threads, Holes and Sections to solids are covered in detail, with illustrated worked examples and video-animated tutorials.
The Imprint tool is shown how to sweep a 2D profile through a 3D object, combining or subtracting the volumes of the extrusion of the primary solid. Additionally, a block profile inserted from the Blocks palette is used as an imprint profile.
3D Boolean Facet tools are extensively demonstrated, allowing primary solids to be modified by the addition or subtraction of other solids.
3D Slice tools are also demonstrated, allowing the modification of solids by slicing by points, lines, surfaces or the Workplane.
Parametric updates of solids are shown, demonstrating how the Selection Info palette is used to update the dimensional properties of objects in real-time.
Facet Editing tools such as Facet Editor and Facet Offset are used to demonstrate how facets of objects can be individually manipulated to reshape the solid.
A full range of Assembly tools are used to show how best to implement the recommended component-assembly method of 3D design. Worked examples are used on how to assemble by points, edges, facets, tangents and central axes.
Transitional surfaces created by 3D-Filleting and 3D-Chamfering are also demonstrated showing how material is either added or subtracted during modification.
The Shell Solid tool is also used to demonstrate how the interior or exterior wall thickness of a solid is either added or subtracted.
Advanced 3D modelling tools are demonstrated such as Deformable Modeling which demonstrates how facet deforming can be done by applying a uniform pressure load to the surface of a solid.
The concept of Sub–Divisional Modeling is demonstrated, showing how the Smooth Mesh function allows the fluid editing of faces, edges and transitional surfaces by sub-dividing the model into various levels.
Surface-to-Solid and Surface-from-Profile generation is explained showing the ease with which objects can be transformed from one state to another.
3D Scenes and Rendering are included, demonstrating how to creates and add material properties to objects and set up lights and camera movements for scenes.
