Creating 3D Isometric view of various structural elements in AutoCAD

1. Create a 3D Isometric View of the building with the plan and elevation given.

AIM:

To create the 3D View of the Building Facade as given in the plan and elevation and create the window using the given dimensions

INTRODUCTION:

An isometric drawing is a 3D representation of an object, room, building or design on a 2D surface.

One of the defining characteristics of an isometric drawing, compared to other types of 3D representation, is that the final image is not distorted

This is because the foreshortening of the axes is equal.

In an isometric drawing, the object appears as if it is being viewed from above from one corner, with the axes being set out from this comer point.

Isometric drawings begin with one vertical line along which two points are defined.

PROCEDURE:

Select the line command and specify the first point and type 10'9" in the x-axis

Select the line and type 10'9" in the y-axis

Type offset and specify 9" and do the offset

Draw the window with the rectangle command of the specified length

Create a region using the REGION command

Extrude the walls by 10’

Draw the windows in the walls

Create region

Extrude the windows

Using the SUBTRACT command, subtract the window part from the walls

Select the Shade mode and see the drawing

3. Create the isometric 3d view of a stair with a railing as shown in the plan and elevation. Assume the size of the balustrades and the handrails.

AIM

To create the isometric 3D view of a stair with a railing as shown in the plan and elevation.

PROCEDURE

Enter line command

Draw a 6” line in the z-direction

Draw a 12” line in x-direction

Copy these lines and paste them 10 times to make the stairs

Create boundary using BOUNDARY command

Extrude the stairs 3’

Draw a circle on the step

Create boundary using BOUNDARY command

Extrude the circle to create the railing

Copy and paste the railing to each step

Join the railings using 3DPOLYLINE

Create a circle

Using the SWEEP command, create the handrail
