Creating 3D Isometric view of various structural elements in AutoCAD
1. Aim:
To Create a 3D Isometric View of the building with a plan and elevation
Procedure:
• Open Autocad 3d
• set-top view
• Set units to engineering and inches
• set limits to 0',0' and 100',100'
• Now use the rec command to draw a rectangle of size 10'9"x10'9"
• Now make an offset of 9" inside as shown
• Now trim both lines and extend the line to the outer rectangle
• Now draw windows as shown
• Now give dimension using the dim command
• Now by using 3d face command make 3d face to all
• Now extrude the walls and move the windows up as a dimension
• Now select any wall face and modify the window and give dimensions
• Now select another wall face and modify the window and give dimensions
• Now apply layers and keep them in an isometric view

2. Aim:
To Create the 3D View of the Building Façade as given in the plan and elevation and detail of the window.
Procedure:
• Open Autocad 3d
• set-top view
• Set units to engineering and inches
• set limits to 0',0' and 100',100'
• Now use the rec command to draw a rectangle of size 10'9"x6'9"
• Now make an offset of 9" and trim the extra line
• Now extend the trimmed line till the outer rectangle
• Now draw a window and give dimensions
• Now draw the window detail and give dimensions
• Now extrude the drawn plane and keep it in a front view and place this window drawn at given heights as shown
• Now press the home button near Ucs to make it an isometric view

3. Aim:
To Create the isometric 3d view of a stair with a railing
Procedure:
• Open Autocad 3d
• set-top view
• Set units to engineering and inches
• set limits to 0',0' and 100',100'
• Now use the line command and draw a line of 12' vertically
• Now make a 3' offset for the 12' line
• Now join the two vertical lines at the bottom with a horizontal line
• Now make 9 offset lines at a 1' distance between each line
• Now after 9 offsets make the offset distance 3' and draw an offset
• Now give dimensions as shown
• Now by using the line command draw the side elevation and give dimension as shown
• Now remove the railing and keep it in isometric view and extrude the stairs as shown
• Now apply a layer
• Now by using the circle command and extrude command, we draw the railing as shown
Result:
4. Aim: To create the 3D view of a Wall with spread footing
Procedure:
• Open Autocad 3d
• set-top view
• Set units to decimals and mm
• set limits to 0,0 and 100,100
• Now use the line command and draw a line of 7500 vertically
• Now make an offset of 670
• Now join two vertical lines up and down using the horizontal lines
• Now make a 3300mm offset for horizontal lines at the top and bottom
• Now make offset for the vertical line as required
• Now draw a Door as shown
• Now place this door in the wall as shown
• Now hatch the wall as required and give dimension
• This is the top view
• Now we are drafting the section of the wall footing
• Now by using the line command and rectangle command the section of the wall footing is drawn
• Now give hatching where ever required
• Now give dimensions
• now keep in isometric view and extrude the section and apply layers as shown
• Now go to the ribbon bar and open the visualization bar and go to the material browser and select the materials
• Now apply the selected materials to the section and make a render using the render command
• Use the camera command to take a picture.
