Lighting Design Tips and Tricks

Confidence in working lighting design projects

Description

This course is for the newbie lighting designers who want to learn the basic commands of AutoCAD software.

This course must be taken together with the Dialux evo for Beginners so that the lighting designer will successfully do his or her lighting design projects.

This course will only discuss the basic commands necessary for lighting design. It will not discuss the full extent of how to use the AutoCAD software. We will not discuss the advanced techniques and the most complicated user manual of this drawing software.

Short Key Commands will be given to maximize the working time of the students and to efficiently use their both hands in using the software. Two hands on the keyboard are much better in working efficiently.

The student is encouraged to install the AutoCAD and Dialux evo software together, so they can practice the hands-on tutorials in this course.

There are downloadable files located at the Additional Resources tab, so grab all those and use it to practice your skills.

This course has lifetime access, so you can come back and watch the videos again and again anytime you want or anytime you are free.

I will guarantee you that you will be confident to use the software after you finished this course.

So, enrol now and see you in this online classroom!
