Description

Have you ever wanted to create professional architectural floor plans, elevations, and 3D building models using AutoCAD?

In this practical project-based course, you will learn architectural design by working on real projects instead of just studying theory. From the very first lessons, you will follow a professional workflow used in architectural drafting and building design.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

✓ Design complete residential floor plans

✓ Create professional building elevations

✓ Build detailed 3D architectural models

✓ Organize drawings using layers and drafting standards

✓ Design electrical layouts and switchboards

✓ Work on a complete Home Project and a 10-Story Building Project

This course is designed for architecture students, civil engineering students, drafters, designers, and anyone who wants to develop practical architectural design skills using AutoCAD.

What Makes This Course Different?

Unlike many courses that only explain concepts, this course focuses on real-world application. You will learn by working on two complete projects from start to finish:

Project 1: Residential Home Design Project

• Drafting setup, units, and limits

• Layer creation and management

• Floor plan development

• Elevation design

• 3D house modeling

• Electrical planning and switchboard design

Project 2: Multi-Story Building Project

• Planning and drafting a 10-floor building

• Professional architectural workflow

• Advanced drawing organization

• Building design concepts and implementation

In addition to project work, you will also learn important architectural concepts including design principles, architectural planning fundamentals, and color theory to help you create more effective and visually appealing designs.

This course assumes you have basic familiarity with AutoCAD. The focus is on applying AutoCAD to architectural projects rather than teaching basic AutoCAD commands.

To support your learning, the course includes quizzes, assignments, and practice exercises that help reinforce key concepts and improve your drafting skills.

If you want to gain practical architectural design experience, build portfolio-worthy projects, and improve your AutoCAD architectural drafting skills, this course is for you.
