Creating 3D Isometric view of various structural elements in AutoCAD
Aim: To draw the 3D Isometric View of the building as shown in the figure
Window at Elevation A
Window at Elevation B
Aim: To draw the 3D Building Façade as given in the plan and elevation
Procedure:
Open AutoCAD
In Startup settings start from scratch select Imperial (Feet and Inches)
Open grid and snap settings
- Change snap and grid spacing to 1’
- Change major line every grid line to 10
- Turnoff adaptive grid
Type ‘un’ in command box and press enter
Change units’ type to decimal and precision to 1’1/16” and insertion scale to inches
Change the workspace setting of AutoCAD from ‘drafting and annotation’ to ‘3D Modeling’
