1. Aim: To create a 3D Isometric view of the building with plan and elevation given.
Introduction: To create a 3D Isometric view of the building with plan and elevation given in the figure.
Procedure:
- In the command prompt type limmax >100',100'
- In the command prompt type limits > 0',0'
- In the command prompt type zoom > a
- Go to the top view.
- In the command prompt type l to draw the lines of distance 10'-9",3',3'-2" and thickness of 9"
-

- Now go to South west isometric view and
- In the command prompt type reg to region the object.
- In the command prompt type extrude to extrude the object.
-

- In the command prompt type dim to give the dimensions.
-

- Go to the right view and draft the rectangle by using rec command.
- Then go to south west isometric view and extrude it up to 9'.
- Using sub command subtract the windows.
- In the command prompt type h to hatch the windows.
- In the command prompt type rec and l to give the window detailing.
-

- In the south west isometric view.

Result:


2. Aim: To Create the 3D view of the building facade as given in the plan and section.
Procedure:

- In the command prompt type h to hatch the plan.
- In the command prompt type dim to give the dimensions.
- In the command prompt type mt to give the text.
-

- Now go to South Isometric view
- In the command prompt type reg to region the plan.
- In the command prompt type extrude to extrude the plan.
- In the right view the window is drafted using lines and rectangle commands.
-

- These windows are added to the wall in south west isometric view.
- The front view of the elevation is shown in the front view.
- In command prompt type dim to give the dimensions.
