Summary Step-by-step guidance and detailed examples make using the grids a breeze, and the user-friendly software requires little or no prior computer knowledge. The users can browse the series of grids and pick up those needed to do the job
This book is sure to be a godsend for all architects, interior designers, and graphic designers who have ever faced the challenge of visualizing their designs and presentations in three dimensions at a very early stage. It allows them to enter designs directly into three dimensions without constructing plans, elevations, and sections. Two-dimensional images can easily be created at a later stage after the design is completed. Here are more than 120 ready-made perspective grids, complete with a DOS computer disk with more than 300 perspective grids in AutoCAD or DXF file format, which will enable you to create your own grids to any scale you need... and make the painstaking and time-consuming task of constructing three-dimensional drawings a thing of the past
Notes System requirements for accompanying computer disk: IBM-compatible computer. Other requirements: CAD software supporting DXF format
System requirements for computer disks: DOS
Subject Architectural drawing.
