Challenge

Creating 3D Isometric view of various structural elements in AutoCAD

Aim: To create a 3D Isometric View of the building with plan and elevation given.

Procedure:

Open AutoCad,
Select Imperial system
Set Units , select Engineering with precision 0'0.0"
Set the Limits; Lower limit as 0'0.0",0'0.0" and Upper limit as 1000'0.0",1000'0.0"
In the command prompt, command ZOOM and select All
Now change the Working space from Drafting and annotation to 3D modelling
The plan is cretaed in the top view with all the given datas in the question
Now select the South West isometric view
Arrange the ucs such that we can edit the required wall or portion.
Draw the rectangle for window, and extrude it
Using the SUBTRACT command, subtract the windows from the main wall
Now for frame work, draw the rectangles of given dimensions and extrude it again

Select the realistic view
Now From the visualisation, select material browser, select the material, and pick up it to the needed area

RESULT:

Aim: To create the 3D view of building facade as given in the plan and elevation, considering the detailing of window

Procedure:

Open AutoCad,
Select Imperial system
Set Units , select Engineering with precision 0'0.0"
Set the Limits; Lower limit as 0'0.0",0'0.0" and Upper limit as 1000'0.0",1000'0.0"
In the command prompt, command ZOOM and select All
Now change the Working space from Drafting and annotation to 3D modelling
The plan is drawn with the datas given in the question in Top view
Hatch the wall using hatch command
Select the South west isometric view and extrude the building to the required height
Adjust the ucs and draw the detailed window using the rectangle command, line command, offset command and trim command.
Take the front view and place the windows at requied height
Now extrude the window frame
Using the subtract command, subtract the window from the building
Now again make a rectangle and extrude it, to make the glass of the window.
Draw the back side of the building and extrude it to the building height
Now adjust the usc in the south isometric view and draw the parapet with the given height
Select the Realistic view
Using Visualization, select material browser, select the required material at the appropreate side.

RESULT:

Aim: To create the isometric 3D view of the stairs with rails

Procedure:

Open AutoCad,
Select Imperial system
Set Units , select Engineering with precision 0'0.0"
Set the Limits; Lower limit as 0'0.0",0'0.0" and Upper limit as 1000'0.0",1000'0.0"
In the command prompt, command ZOOM and select All
Now change the Working space from Drafting and annotation to 3D modelling
Draw the plan of the stairs in the top view and dimension it

Using circle command, draw circle of 2" dia and the extrude it to get the cylindrical shape

Using the line command, rails are drawns and is extruded to 2" to get a thickness.
Now take the Realistic view
Using Visualization, select material browser, select the required material at the appropreate side.

RESULT

Aim: To create 3D view of wall with spread footing

Procedure:

Open Auto Cad,
Select, Decimals with precision 0.0 and select units as millimeter
Now set the Limits: Lower limits as 0.0,0.0. and upper limit as 1000.0,1000.0
In the command prompt, command zoom all
Now change the Working space from Drafting and annotation to 3D modelling
The plan of the wall with the spread footing is drawn using the datas given in the question in top view
Now take the front view, and draw the section of wall footing.
Hatch the areas required with appropreate hatches
Take the south west isometric view
Now extrude the full drawing, with required height
Using Visualization, select material browser, select the required material at the appropreate side.

RESULT:

Hence we have created Creating 3D Isometric view of various structural elements in AutoCAD.
