DataCAD® 12 Project Book Just Released!
Concord , NH - March, 13, 2008 - Technology Education Concepts, Inc. announced the release of The DataCAD 12 Project Book. Written by Michael Smith and based on the concepts of Dr. Leonard O. Nasman, The DataCAD 12 Project Book was created specifically for the latest version of DataCAD 12. It introduces the fundamental operations required for creating floor plans and 3D models using new smart walls, doors, windows and rendering using the built-in object viewer included with DataCAD. According to Michael Smith, “n ew for DataCAD 12 is the introduction of parametric modeling (often called ‘smart objects’), including ‘smart’ walls, doors and windows. Part of this book details how to use these new tools by modeling a real 2-story house, complete with rendered materials.”
Although the book is aimed at students in technology education, "tech prep," introductory level architectural CAD courses, and college architectural design classes, it is also an excellent resource for architects and designers just starting with CAD. The book is divided into a series of drawing projects developed to help new users familiarize themselves with three dimensional architectural design and drawing. Mark Madura, President and CEO of DATACAD, emphasized that the new book would be beneficial for those who wanted to get the most from DataCAD 12. Reflecting on the publication, Mark continued by saying, “The addition of ‘smart objects’ is perhaps one of the most significant features to be covered by the latest edition. It certainly opens a new realm of possibilities.”
The DataCAD 12 Project Book is the latest in a series of Project Books that have become popular in both academic and commercial markets. For additional information on the publication, contact Technology Education Concepts, Inc. at 800-338-2238 or inquire through the website: www.TECedu.com.
