Autodesk Alias Design Lesson 1 - Part 3 - Using the Alias Design Interface Continued

We recently added a downloadable trial version of Autodesk Alias Design. With this trial becoming available I thought it was important to create a video series on Autodesk Alias Design that focused on the foundations of using Autodesk Alias Design. There will be mulitple lesson's that each have a set of supporting videos that help create a foundation based on the theme of that particular lesson. I hope these videos help you in developing a solid foundation with Autodesk Alias Design.

Lesson 1 focuses on the Interface, Data Structure, Navigation, Picking Objects and Layers.

Hey Chris is there a link to the files in your videos? I am trying to learn this for the first time and I am finding your videos very helpful!

I have had a hard time keeping these files in a place for people to get without having to spend money. I will post a link if I can get a good working link

Hi Chris I have no way to change my model windows to top / front / right, because there are Y up and X up only. Do you know any other ways to change that? Thanks

@keifoo

If you goto Preferences>General Preferences>Model Windows>Select "Use Tutorial Window Names"

@keifoo Try these steps:

1. Close the views that you do not want (i.e. Left and Back).

2. Go to Layout and click on the views that you do want (i.e. Front and Right).

3. Resize the views

4. Go to Layout, then name and save your user view. (I named mine Top,Front&Right.view)

Thanks for the Tutorial.

I tried to learn Alias on my own before... gave up rather quickly.

Its interesting to see how many ppl watched the first video and over 3/4 of the class have "dropped out".
