course overview
The three-day course will start off with an introduction to 2D isometric drawings as a bridge towards visualizing and drafting/designing in three-dimensions (3D). Trainees will learn to convert and represent 2D drawings to 3D, and vice versa. They will also be equipped with technical skills such as dimensioning, annotating, rendering, and flattening 3D. Trainees will be given opportunities to clarify any doubts and/or put to practice what they have learnt at the Guided Practical Sessions led by our Professional CAD/BIM Trainer. A Certificate of Completion will be issued to reach Trainee at the end of the course.
