Hello jonjacson, are you talking about AutoCAD or your Catia V5 ?
 
If it's about Catia then it's not the good place, if it's about AutoCAD it's the good place.
 
If you want to know everything about AutoCAD 3D there are a lot of tutorials on the internet like CADtutorials or others that you will find by launching  a search with : AutoCAD xxxxxxxx.
Take a look at : AutoCAD 3D tutorilas by Kristen S. KURLAND.
If you don't have any knowledge about 3D it's going to be difficult without learning 2D ( my opinion ).
 
For me if you want to know about 3D from the beginning you will have to learn all about viewpoints and UCS.
If you want to see a 3D method eventually take a look at my file : 3D_HOOK_SIMPLE_DIN_15401_3D_METHOD.dwg here in the CAD BIM Blocks librairy it's done from 2 2D blocks to one 3D block made of solids.
 
And this one : 3D SOLIDS 01.dwg wich is showing the 3D basics in 7 subjects from :
-1- basic solids with parameters to -7- UCS settings for dimensions.
 
2D views from a 3D object are done with the command FLATSHOT to be set correctly with the good options.
 
Ask for more.

Hi folks,

I am new to engineering drawing and I wanted to ask the experts, you, which are the best exercises to improve visualization.

1.- The first one I see in every book is reconstructing the 3d object from its multiview ortographic projections. It is very good exercise, the problem here is I found a lot of cad files to download, but I cannot find an organized collection of files, starting from begginer to more advanced drawings. Do you know a book with this organized multiviews? Or a website?

2.- Drawing the multiview projections from a 3d object. Good exercise too.

Do you know more exercises?

Let me know any idea to make my brain work on this subject.

Thanks!Clap]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2015 20:50:20 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=11465&PID=30793&title=best-exercises-to-improve-visualization#30793
