The book begins with a brief introduction to AutoSurf Release 3, and then proceeds to a hands-on project in which users create 3D wireframes and proceeds to a hands-on project in which users create 3D wireframes and surfaces for a video camera model. A second project - modeling a mobile phone - introduces users to advanced surface modeling techniques. The book concludes with an easy-to-use reference of all AutoSurf Release 3-related commands and variables used in the book. This tutorial-style companion book by Ron Cheng offers additional skills and support to his main book, MASTERING AUTOCAD RELEASE 14.
