After AutoSketch, AutoCAD LT was the second CAD package I owned. Although it’s regarded as “the little brother” you can do some pretty cool work with it.
It’s not supposed to do 3D but was fine for the geometry of this dome. It looks like a repetitive geodesic structure but the designer wanted horizontal circular members at fixed heights so every level was different. Using LT to array the nodes then dimension member lengths/angles was easier than calculating them!
This is the first AutoCAD LT blog I’ve seen. It’s great the little brother has got a blog.
