Basic CAD for Interior Designers: AutoCAD®, Architectural Desktop, and VIZ Render 2007
This richly illustrated book arms interior design professionals with solid, practical know-how and step-by-step AutoCAD instruction. It is organized around a series of tasks and combines explanations of AutoCAD commands with practical systematic drafting procedures. This edition introduces Architectural Desktop (so users can learn the difference between the two systems), includes a new design project, and offers a new chapter on the reflected ceiling plan and schedule. Its emphasis on professional applications and balance of coverage leaves readers with a set of skills that can be used immediately in the profession. Emphasizes what an interior designer can do with AutoCAD, rather than on just what AutoCAD can do. A balance of 2D and 3D coverage discusses simple and more advanced techniques in a meaningful and manageable way. Explains AutoCAD commands in the context of interior design, making material more relevant to the design professional.

Zeid's Mastering CAD/CAM, first edition covers an in-depth, comprehensive assembly of modern topics, including feature-based modeling, parametrics, NURBS, collaborative design, PDM, and PLM. The text integrates theory, practice and the use of CAD/CAM systems by presenting examples, tutorials, discussions, hands-on exercises, and end-of-chapter problems. Zeid provides readers with a large selection of topics, abundant activities for in-class discussions and outside-class assignments. The text provides the coverage of topics in a fashion that lends itself to customization to suit the instructor’s orientation in course scope and delivery. Suitable for second year to graduate level courses in CAD, CAM, and computational geometry, the text is intended for the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering audience and serves as an excellent reference for professionals.
Principles of CAD/CAM/CAEThis book is carefully targeted toward today's students. It is a balanced (CAD and CAM) text with up to date information on rapid prototyping, NT-based solid modeling systems and Web-related issues, all hot topics. Complicated mathematical terminology is kept to a minimum; instead, the concepts are explained in as intuitive a way as possible. Students are required to have a background only in programming, calculus, and matrix and vector algebra. The book is on the leaner side as the author feels that too many texts obscure the fundamental concepts with too many details.

Digital Design and Manufacturing: CAD/CAM Applications in Architecture and DesignA reliable, concise guide to computer-aided design and manufacturing
Positioned to be the leading book of its kind in the field, Digital Design and Manufacturing explains the ins and outs of CAD/CAM technologies and how these tools can be used to model and manufacture building components and industrial design products. It offers a comprehensive overview of the field and expertly addresses a broad range of recent initiatives and other issues related to the design of parts and assemblies for automated manufacturing and assembly.
Digital Design and Manufacturing presents the latest technical coverage of how to implement CAD/CAM technologies into the design process, including the broad range of software, computer numerical control (CNC) machines, manufacturing processes, and prototyping necessary. Insightful case studies are integrated throughout from the works of Frank Gehry, Bernard Franken, Raphael Vinoly, and many other leading architects. Product design case studies are also presented.
Students and professional architects will find techniques for going from representation to production, while avoiding the pitfalls of traditional manufacturing and allowing for the design and production of complex, free-form components that have been too expensive to use practically-until now.

Steel Detailing in CAD FormatDesigned so that professionals can create the structural calculation package and the detailing as quickly and economically as possible. Contains 239 representative drawings, each one on a separate page that includes a description, a checklist summarizing the detail and a small plan view which suggests the location on the structural drawing where the detail can be applied. An accompanying disk in CAD format allows users to import the details and customize them to their needs. In addition, every drawing is saved in a separate file in .DXF format that can be loaded into most CAD software programs and modified, plotted or printed as needed.
