Creating 3D Isometric view of various structural elements in AutoCAD

1) AIM: To

PROCEDURE:

• Open cad application in the pc and set all the limits required.
• Set the units as required for drawing. Set units in Engineering and scale in Inches.
• Now here we have to change the model space from Drafting to 3D modeling.
• Once you go for 3d modeling a new axis will appear in the UCS icon.
• Here in that new axis 'Z' the all the thickness of extrude goes.
• Go to layers and create different layers for each building items.
• Give different colors for each element.
• Go to top view and draw the plan using LINE command.
• Keep ortho on for accurate lines.
• Once after completing the wall now draw the window.
• Select the rectangle command and draw the window.
• Now here we have to extrude the wall and window so make a boundary using boundary command.
• 
• The above dialogue box will appear. Select the region option in Object type.
• After all the options select the Pick points option.
• In drawing select the wall inner lines and a Region will appear.
• To check the regions go to shaded visual style.
• While doing region of wall don't select the window part let it be unregioned.
• Now go to South West view and select the extrude command.
• Select the region to be extruded and select the direction.
• Then type the height as mentioned.
• Once the wall is reached to slab bottom level then start with the window part.
• There is a rectangle in the plan for window, so extrude it till sill level.
• Select UCS option and change the X and Y axis direction so that we can draw a rectangle in the wall top.
• To extrude it till window or lintel bottom level.
• After extruding the wall till sill and lintel bottom now we have to make it union.
• Select the union option and select the walls that have to be combined.
• Then press entre the walls will be made as one.
• Now we have to draw the slab and plinth.
• In 3D view select rectangle and draw a rectangle in the outer line of wall.
• Then give the appropriate layer and extrude it by giving negative indication before thickness.
• Then again select rectangle and draw in the top of wall and do same as done for plinth.
• Now we have to do the window panels and frames.
• Change the UCS as required and draw the rectangle.
• Select the offset command and show the thickness.
• Create a REGION using boundary command as done before.
• Here we have to subtract the region that intersects with the other panels.
• Select subtract and select the region from which the subtraction has to be done.
• Next select the region which has to be subtracted then press entre the subtractions will be done.
• Do this for the entire region and then extrude w.r.t thickness and move inside or outside as required.
• The 3D model of the given plan is ready and then plot it using layout and save as pdf.

• While doing region of wall don't select the window part let it be unregioned.
• Now go to South West view and select the extrude command.
• Select the region to be extruded and select the direction.
• Then type the height as mentioned.
• Here we are doing only 1 floor because all the other are typical.
• There is a rectangle in the plan for window, so extrude it till sill level.
• Select ucs option and change the X and Y axis direction so that we can draw a rectangle in the wall top.
• Draw the rectangle in the top of the wall that has been done till sill level.
• Then using move command selects the rectangle and selects the base point.
• Then entre the height of the window then again extrude till the wall height.
• Once the one floor work is completed then using Copy command make all the remaining floors.
• Now we have to do the window panels and frames.
• Change the UCS as required and draw the rectangle.
• Select the offset command and show the thickness.
• Create a REGION using boundary command as done before.
• Here we have to subtract the region that intersects with the other panels.
• Select subtract and select the region from which the subtractions to be done.
• Next select the region which has to be subtracted then press entre the subtractions will be done.
• Do this for the entire region and then extrude w.r.t thickness and move inside or outside as required.
• AT the end we have to do the column and beam of given dimension.
• The UCS for this is correctly aligned so draw the rectangle of given dimension.
• Using line command creates the path by drawing a line through the column and beam.
• Now select SWEEP command and select the object or rectangle that has to be extruded.
• Select the line as path then the solid element will appear.
• Then using the layout does the plotting and save it as required.

• Go to layers and create different layers for each building items.
• Give different colors for each element.
• Go to Front view in the UCS view.
• 
• Select the line command and draw the side of staircase.
• Draw 2 steps and select the copy command and copy till the landing.
• Then draw the landing line and draw the waist slab.
• Now do the boundary of the staircase.
• 
• The above dialogue box will appear. Select the region option in Object type.
• After all the options select the Pick points option.
• In drawing select the staircase and a Region will appear.
• To check the region goes to shaded visual style.
• Then go back to South West view and extrude the staircase as per given width.
• Now we have to do the railing and balusters’ so select the rectangle and draw a box.
• Extrude the box as per given height. Then copy the railings for all steps till landing.
• Then draw the line through all the railings and give the required width.
• Then make a extraction and the railing is done.
• Make sure all the things are done with the respective layers.

PROCEDURE:

• Open cad application in the pc and set all the limits required.
• Set the units as required for drawing. Set units in Decimal and scale in Millimeters.
• Now here we have to change the model space from Drafting to 3D modeling.
• Once you go for 3d modeling a new axis will appear in the UCS icon.
• Here in that new axis 'Z' the all the thickness of extrude goes.
• Keep ortho on for accurate lines.
• Go to layers and create different layers for each building items.
• Give different colors for each element.
• Change the XY plane so that the drawing can be drawn. Go to UCS option to change it.
• Select the base point and give the direction for each of the axis.
• In the 3D view draw the cross section as given. Draw from PCC to Parapet.
• Then after drawing the cross section then make the regions using boundary.
• 
• The above dialogue box will appear. Select the region option in Object type.
• After all the options select the Pick points option.
• In drawing select the each footing and wall till parapet and a Region will appear.
• To check the region goes to shaded visual style.
• Check is there any overlapping of the region. If there subtract it and make all clear.
• Then first extrude the footing, bed, slab and parapet fully till the given length.
• Only extrude the wall till the door opening.

• Change the scale as required making it clearer.
• Apply the material for all the other structure by selecting different material.
• Carry the same procedure as mentioned above.
• Now we have to create the camera view for better picture.
• Draw a circle or anything that can be extruded.
• It is done for prefect placing of the camera.
• Select the create camera option.
• Select the point where the camera has to be placed. Then select the point in the drawing so the view can be fixed.
• The height is done using the solid object so now select the lens and other things if required.
• Then click the camera to see the preview to check the placement of the camera.
• The below dialogue box will appear
