Modeling in Autocad for Lightscape

Sebree · July 12th, 2002

I am new to Lightscape and have heard and experienced bad modeling in AutoCAD can lead to bad rendering experiences in Lightscape. I have gone through the tutorials and saw the diagram explaining modeling accurately in AutoCAD for Lightscape but need more examples, like how to model floors that aren't square and ceilings that area huge. Does anyone know where I can find more examples of how to model in AutoCAD for Lightscape.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

i don't think there is a book out there on that, but wat i do on the floors is use 3d face and make a grid even if its not totally squared..also the SMED TOOLS are a great help in surface modelling in autocad its in the resources section on this webpage

Thanks for the response. I guess I am just looking for a series of tutorials, etc. for modeling an interior view of a buidling which would cover alot of things that I would normally encounter.

I'll look into the smed tools also.
