Architectural Drafting and Design, 4E

Description

Detailing step-by-step methods for the design and layout of each type of drawing required for a complete set of architectural plans, this text shows how to make optimal use of one of today's popular design tools - AutoCAD 2000. The book also contains a try & die copy of the AutoCAD 2000 software and .dwg files of selected plans in the book, supplemented by expanded coverage of CADD and freehand sketching techniques. As they work through "Architectural Drafting and Design, 4th Edition", readers are challenged to think through and solve numerous design problems while adhering to the latest Universal Building Code, CABO and SBCCI codes.
