Course-1: Solid Modeling

8.7 hours of instruction

This course covers all the commands associated with solid modeling. You'll learn how to create bullet proof models in the shortest time possible, and you'll learn tips and techniques that will assure that your models can easily be edited. Beginner and advanced users should start with this course because it provides founding concepts for advanced operations and procedures discussed in later courses.
