Question
Hello expert! Please give me a site (beginner type) where I could learn 3D autocad very good. Im already good in 2D. Thanks!
Answer
Hi--
You failed to tell me the release of AutoCAD. The 3D capabilities were similar in releases before AutoCAD 2007, which had major changes, and 2010 has more sweeping changes.
You also failed to say WHY you want to learn -- my help in reply would be very different on "just for fun", than on "to draw mechanical parts". If you are a student, please learn that full and complete information in questions gets you better replies. (and it is much harder on me when you do not give the info -- I have to guess how to help)
Personally, I would not bother learning plain 3D AutoCAD unless you have 2010, or your job requires you to use the 3D. The older ones were only "OK", the 2010 is pretty good.
BUT--I think that many firms that would hire you would use Inventor, Solidworks, Revit, or a vertical application of AutoCAD, such as AutoCAD Architecture -- and NOT 3D AutoCAD. Schools in the US tend to teach the other softwares for 3D, not AutoCAD.
(You also forgot to tell me what your work or field is)
I do not use websites to learn very complicated programs -- 3D AutoCAD, etc, are very complex. I would use a book, myself, or take a class. However, if you GOOGLE, for instance __ AUTOCAD 2xxx TUTORIAL 3D__ you will find some suggestions and hints. (obviously, replace 2xxx with the correct year of your software.) If you have <2007, the 3D is all similar, so try searching with more years.
It would take me many hours to search for and evaluate all the websites pertaining to all the releases. If you do your own searching, you can choose the websites which interest you most. But again, you need to be VERY advanced to learn 3D well without a class and and a book.
