In many settings more time is spent learning how to use the solid modeling softwarethan understanding the conceptual techniques of visualizing 3-D solid objects. The use of mid-level Computer Aided Design (CAD) packages with built in tutorials can greatly reduce theamount of time spent learning how to use the software and allow the instructor to focus onconceptual understanding.Most mid-level CAD packages do not offer the power or functionality of the larger, more robustsoftware used by industry, but their ease of use makes them a great first step in educating astudent in 3-D solid modeling.
