Dream, Design, Do: 3D with DUSPviz
DUSPviz Team
Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Limited to 20 participants.
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
We relish in the idea that we can get a good night’s sleep (barring any frustration with GIS or Excel), but are secretly jealous that the MArchs down the hall get to bring their ideas and plans as close to reality as a computer will allow them. It’s time to step outside of the 1D world of dreaming and earn those second and third Ds. Our time together is short, so let’s learn something wild while we’re still picking our brains.
DUSPviz is offering three workshops on AutoCAD, Rhinoceros and Google SketchUp this IAP. These introductory workshops will present the basics and best practices of each program and are intended for students with little to no experience in one or all of the programs. Students from all program groups are welcome and no design experience is required.
Students are encouraged to download AutoCAD (from IS&T) and SketchUp (from Google) for free. A free trial version of Rhinoceros is also available for download.
