Advanced AutoCAD 2011 Training Video

In this Advanced AutoCAD 2011 training video, CAD instructor Brian Benton builds on the groundwork laid in the beginner's AutoCAD course and helps more experienced users learn the important tools that make AutoCAD the go-to application across multiple industries. What sets this tutorial course apart is that it doesn't just go through tools and features one by one, but also helps you develop an overall professional perspective that will help you work more effectively no matter what your purpose is. In addition to exploring more advanced design elements and operations, this AutoCAD tutorial helps you understand the extensive markup and documentation tools built into the application. It is these annotation and reference tools that make the program the perfect collaborative platform for the worlds of engineering, production, and design. Advanced polyline-spline editing, groups, sheet sets, and dynamic blocks are all covered, and you'll also get file management tips that make printing, sharing, and exporting easy. The course also includes an introduction to 3D operations and files to help you work through each lesson. By the completion of this video training course, you will have an advanced understanding of AutoCAD that you can apply to past, present and future versions of this industry standard software. The 10 hours training consists of 112 mini-lessons.
The video is available here as download or DVD.

Advanced Revit Architecture 2012 Training

In this Revit Architecture 2012 Tutorial, Jay Polding continues where he left off in the previous training course, advancing your knowledge of Revit Architecture 2012. You will apply what you learned in the first training course, and learn advanced techniques while working on a real project throughout this training video. Right from the beginning, you start setting up your files for working on this project. You quickly move onto working with a CAD survey, and into creating phases, using site tools, linking files, working on walls, floors, stairs, ramps and so much more. As you continue through this video based training course, you will watch Jay teach you how to setup area schedules, work on detailing, and finally, set up your presentation of the completed project, and share it using a walkthrough, and even printing to a PDF. By the completion of this advanced video tutorial, you will be fully capable of taking a Revit Architecture 2012 project from start to finish. You will have in-depth knowledge of the tools available to you, and how to effectively utilize them. Included are extensive working files so that you can learn by applying the training directly to the same files that the author is working on, right on your own computer. The 10.75 hours training consists of 106 mini-lessons.
The video is available here as download or DVD.

Revit MEP 2012 Training Video

In this Autodesk Revit MEP 2012 Training Course, expert Simon Whitbread will teach you how to use this Building Information Modeling software from Autodesk. Starting at the beginning, this video based training course assumes no prior knowledge of this software. The training begins with a tour of the interface and various navigation components in Revit MEP. Quickly diving into the actual application of the Revit MEP tools, you will get hands on experience with functions such as copying and pasting, rotating, aligning, and more. You will continue with topics such as views, families, spaces and zones, and performance analysis. This video based tutorial also contains full chapters specifically focused on HVAC, piping and plumbing systems, and electrical systems. You will finish by exploring subjects such as work-sharing, documenting and sharing your designs. By the conclusion of this Revit MEP video training course, you will be fully capable of designing and adding mechanical, electric and plumbing systems to building designs. Included are extensive working files so that you can work alongside the author as he teaches you the ins and outs of Autodesk Revit MEP. The 8.25 hours training consists of 162 mini-lessons.
The video is available here as download or DVD.

3DS Max 2012 Training Video

In this video tutorial on 3ds Max 2012, expert author and animator Brian Mennenoh introduces you to the many features of this 3D modeling and animation software from Autodesk. Brian has over 20 years experience working with 3D, and his engaging teaching style draws you in and allows you to enjoy the sometimes complex intricacies of such a powerful software program. Using a single project throughout the whole training course, you will learn how to use the interface and a good production workflow, several modeling techniques, material creation, basic lighting, camera setups, matching a camera to a background image, rendering settings and more. At the end of the lessons you will have created a robot and a fully skinned fairy, rigged with bones, battling with crayons after their kids walked away from a coloring project. By the completion of this computer based training course, you will have a solid foundation in 3ds Max and be able to start working on your own projects, building on the knowledge gained throughout the lessons. Extensive working files are included to allow you to work alongside the author in this project, learning with the same files that he is using in the training.
