Creating 3D Isometric view of various structural elements in AutoCAD

1.

Aim

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

Introduction

Create the 3d isometric view of building plan and create windows

Procedure

AutoCAD is opened with Imperial setting as default.

In units of measurement Architectural is selected.

Precision is set to 0'-0.0".

First 2d plan given is drawn

Plan is created with LINE, TRIM, and OFFSET commands as per dimensions

Then Top view is selected in VIEW cube

Now create a region in the wall area by command "BO" for boundary.

Go to shaded view to see the boundary

Now extrude the region , givng a height of 10'. Command "EXTRUDE"

Draw a rectangle over the window portion.

Extrude it to 3' ie to sill level

Similarly create a rectangle at the top

Then extrude it downwards at 3' distance by EXTRUDE command

Then view option is selected in Realistic

Then for the window portion

Create rectangle with length of 4' and 3'2" width

Then create inner two rectangle with 3" and 4" spacing

Then extrude the rectangles by 3" with EXTRUDE command

From layer option select layer for window with different color

Then place the created rectangles in elevation A and elevaton B

ELEVATION A

ELEVATION B

Result

Thus the 3D model of building plan and isometric view is created and window is also created

2.

Aim

To create the 3D View of the Building Façade as given in the plan and elevation

Introduction

Create the 3D View of the Building Façade as given in the plan and elevation

Window should be drawn with the help of details of window given

Procedure

AutoCAD is opened with Imperial setting as default.

In units of measurement Architectural is selected.

Precision is set to 0'-0.0".

Top view is selected in VIEW cube and plan is created with LINE, TRIM, and OFFSET commands as per dimensions

In the View cube Home icon is clicked and the BOUNDARY command and region option is selected to make walls into regions.

As the sill level height is given as 4'6" and window height as 4' ,and top height from the window is 2'5"

With EXTRUDE command extrude the created region giving a height of 10'-11 for wall

Create a rectangle at the bottom of the window position.

Extrude it to a height of 4'6".

Similarly create a rectangle at the top and extrude 2'-5" downwards

Create the window elevation of the plan in 2D top view

Create window with given dimensions

Then group the window elements.

Then extrude it by 3"

Place the elevation in front of the 3D image.

With 3DRotate command rotate the elevation by 270 degree

Place it in parallel to the face of building

With layer properties create new layer and select colors for window

Move this window and place on the gap in 3d wall

Copy all the object

And place it on the top of the wall and create 4 floors similarly

In top view

Draw a rectangle with dimensions 9" x 4".

Extrude it by 6'5"

Copy that column and place it on other end

Then create perpendicular at the top of both columns by

Creating rectangle at top and extrude downwards by 4"

Then change the view type to realistic

Result

Thus the 3D View of the Building Façade as given in the plan and elevation is created

3.

Aim

Tp create the ismoteric 3d view of a stair with railing as shown in the plan and elevation.

Introduction

Create the ismoteric 3d view of a stair with railing as shown in the plan and elevation.

Size of balustrades and hand rails should be assumed

Procedure

AutoCAD is opened with Imperial setting as default.

In units of measurement Architectural is selected.

Precision is set to 0'-0.0"

With tread as 1' and riser as 6" , draw the steps in the top view 2d wireframe.

Landing is 3' and the waist slab is 6" thickness

And dimensions are marked

Join all these and create a region

With 3d orbit place the section in such a way that it is visible.

Extrude 3' towards the side for width of the stair

With 3d rotate -select x axis and give the value 90 degree.

For creating balustrades

Place the UCS on the tread and ceate a circle of diameter 2" at corner

Then extrude the circle at 3'2" by EXTRUDE command

Now copy it and place it in all tread as shown in fig

For creating handrails

At top of the staircase, create 2" circle at z-axis in top balustrade

Then, create a polyline joining the balustrades by "3DPOLY" command

Now using SWEEP command, sweep it by selecting the circle click ENTER and then select the polyline

Result

The ismoteric 3d view of a stair with balustrades and hand rails are created

4.

Aim

To create the 3D view of a Wall with spread footing

Introduction

Create the 3D view of a Wall with spread footing .

Create the Door opening only.

Assume the size of the parapet and the coping. See the plans and elevation for the details. Also, create a rendered view of
the model with materials

Procedure

AutoCAD is opened with Imperial setting as default.

In units of measurement millimeters is selected.

Precision is set to 0

With line command draw a vertical line of 7500mm and 230mm width

Draw a centre line in wall and offset 150mm on both sides so that the total width is 300mm

From the 300mm line offset 25mm on both sides then the total width becomes 350mm.

From the centre again offset 300mm on both sides , the total width is 600mm

Extend the horizontal line at both ends

Offset 3300mmfrom both the sides for the door opening of 900mm

Create door in the opening by arc and line.

Hatch the wall , foundation with different hatches.

ANS 132 for wall , Solid for footing , AR-CONC for bottom

Click home icon at right corner to make into 3d

Create a rectangle profile on top of the plan

Create region by REGION command

Extrude it by 300mm.

Then draw the next rectangle

Extrude it by 700mm

The next rectangle is drawn inside

Extrude it by 1100mm from bottom

Last rectangle inside is drawn

Then extrude it by 1650mm from ground

Then create rectangle at top

And extrude it by 50mm

Then create rectangle at top, at both ends with dimension of 230mm x 3300mm

Now extrude it by 3300mm

Create a rectangle profile at top at gap between wall

Move it downwards 1050mm by MOVE command

Extrude it down at a height of 150mm

Again create rectangle at gap

Extrude it down by 1050

Keep the ucs on the side face.

Draw a horizontal line from bottom of the lintel , then a vertical line 50mm to top.

On the other side draw a vertical line of 100mm upwards,then join these two points of 50 and 100.

Make it as a region by REGION command

Extrude right side by 900mm

Now create rectangle at top and extrude it by 150mm top

Create a rectangle of 7500mm and 150mm on top of the 3d model

Extrude it by 750mm at top

Then draw line at left edge of wall at top

Then draw a small rectangle of 60mmx40mm right corner by placing UCS icon and cganging its face

Now using SWEEP command sweep it by selecting rectangle and then the line

For rendered view

Render the model by RR command

Result

The 3d model of wall with spread footing and opening is created
