Creating 3D Isometric view of various structural elements in AutoCAD
1. A 3D Isometric View of the building as given in the plan and elevation :
A ) AIM & INTRODUCTION:
AIM:
- To create a 3D Isometric View of the building with plan and elevation given from the 3D workspace by using solid editing tools.
INTRODUCTION:
- "A 3D isometric View of the Building with two side walls " is a drawing of PLAN A which was created in the "3D modeling /basics workspace".
- Here in the 3D modeling space, all drawings can be created in all the 3 axiz such as x,y and z.
- The solid model creating tool from the "tool palette" is used to create this 3D View of the Building is given in the plan and elevation.
- The plan will be created in the 2D workspace and then extruded to the 3D isometric view.
- Also the created 3D View of the Building as given in the plan and elevation are can be viewed/seen in the "360 degree" to make sure of the shape structure which was created as a 3D model.
- Some of the view tools in the 3D modeling workspace plays the major role for the 3D isometric models they are such as VISUAL STYLE, VIEW CUBE, UCS/UCS ICON.
- With the "Visual style" the visual styles can be changed by customization as required to view the 3D elements, some of the Visual styles such as "2D "Wireframe", "Shaded", "Conceptual", "Hidden", "Realistic".
- With the "View Cube" the various views of the elements can be viewed such as TOP, BOTTOM, RIGHT, LEFT, FRONT ,BACK and so on.
- And with the "UCS/UCS ICON" the differect faces of the 3D models can be created or edited on the "axis plane" such as XY, YZ, ZX.
- In the visual bar selecting the "Materials browser" option the colors of the the isometric views can be made as per the required material property.
- Also, to render the created isometeric view can be rendered with the render option in the "visual bar" .
B ) PROCEDURE:
- First the 2D plan of the given figure should be created as per the given dimensions.
- The plan A will be created as per the figure with the required tools and dimensions with the "line" and the "rectangle" tool.
-
The walls are presented in the 2 sides of the plan with two elevations along with widows.
-
The two different elevations of this plan are such as ELEVATION 1 & ELEVATION 2 .
-
And the dimension are should be denoted by the DIMLINEAR command.
- Then the workspace should be chaged from the DRAFTING AND ANNOTATION to the 3D MODELING (OR) 3D BASICS.
- Then the view of the model space should be extruded as the isometric view with the "VIEW CUBE" by clicking the home button.
- After getting into the 3D MODELING workspace, the created wall and window of the plan should be allowed to extruded by 3D solid extrude tool.
- But before starting the process of extruding the created 2D draft, it should be converted into the region (or) boundary with REGION/BOUNDARY command.
- For that the UCS ICON must be placed at the suitable face with the UCS command such as UCS<FACE<and selecting the face of the 3D element to make the Dimension mark at the required axis plane.
- To check the 360 degree view of the 3D element, the 3DORBIT command should be used using the command, with this 3D ORBIT tool we can access the 360 view of the element by rotating the mouse pointer.
- To view the 2D wireframed structure as a 3D visual structure, the BOUNDARY or REGION command should be used to make the every face of the element as a single individual face of the object.
- Then through the command "HIDE" or "HIDDEN", the element will be made as a 3D visualized structure without the excess lines/edges behind the object.
- After making a region of a 2D plan, its wall part should be extruded first @10' and the window will be created at the wall height of 3' from the GL.
- The creation of the window will be done in three different layers such as WINDOW FRAME, WINDOW PANEL, WINDOW GLASS as per the given figure and dimensions.
- The windows will be created as per the given dimensions and the the window panel and the window glass are created and inserted inside the window by creating individually.
- The created window panel and the glass are attached after the subraction of the required space inside the window as a size of the PANEL and the GLASS.
- After the complete creation of the 3D isometric view of the Plan A, the 3D model will be allowed to look in the suitable color as per the material used in the structure.
- The walls, windows and other structures and material are can be colored as per its material property to look real as it is, and it can be done by using the MATERIAL BROWSER tool in the VISUAL BAR.
- The required "Lighting" can also be attached inside the created isometric view with the light settings in the VISUAL BAR.
- Then the Created isometric view will be allowed to render by using the render tool in the VISUAL BAR.
- The rendering of 3D view can be adjusted in the render option such as RENDER OPTION < QUALITY OF THE RENDERING < RENDER AS REGION < RENDER.
C ) RESULT:
- It is a "3D View of the Building with two side walls of the plan, it was created in the 3D modeling/basics workspace.
- The shown 3D View of the Building is from the "Home view" of the VIEW CUBE.

- Also, to render the created isometeric view can be rendered with the render option in the "visual bar" .
B ) PROCEDURE:
- First the 2D plan of Section of a wall footing should be created as per the given figure and dimensions.
- The Section of a wall footing will be created as per the figure with the required tools and dimensions with the "line" and the "rectangle" tool.
-
And the dimension are should be denoted by the DIMLINEAR command.
- Then the workspace should be chaged from the DRAFTING AND ANNOTATION to the 3D MODELING (OR) 3D BASICS.
- Then the view of the model space should be extruded as the isometric view with the "VIEW CUBE" by clicking the home button.
- After getting into the 3D MODELING workspace, the created 2D Section of a wall footing plan should be rotated in 90 degree in the rotation axis of "X-axis" with the 3D rotate command.
- Then the Rotated 2D Section of a wall footing plan should be allowed to extruded with 3D solid extrude tool.
- But before starting the process of extruding the created 2D draft, it should be converted into the region (or) boundary with REGION/BOUNDARY command.
- For that the UCS ICON must be placed at the suitable face with the UCS command such as UCS<FACE<and selecting the face of the 3D element to make the element in the required axis plane.
- To check the 360 degree view of the 3D element, the 3DORBIT command should be used using the command, with this 3D ORBIT tool we can access the 360 view of the element by rotating the mouse pointer.
- To view the 2D wireframed structure as a 3D visual structure, the BOUNDARY or REGION command should be used to make the every face of the element as a single individual face of the object.
- Then through the command "HIDE" or "HIDDEN", the element will be made as a 3D visualized structure without the excess lines/edges behind the object.
- After making a region of a 2D plan, the whole Section of a wall footing should be converted as a union with UNION COMMAND, it will make the individually created sections into the single structure.
- So, it is easy to extrude the whole Section of a wall footing in to a single 3D model and the distance of the extrution will be @7500.
- Then as per the given figure the DOOR OPENING should be created as per the given figure. Here, the height of the Door Opening should be of @900,1900.

- After the complete creation of the 3D isometric view of the "Section of a Wall with spread footing and the door opening", the 3D model will be allowed to be look in the suitable color as per the material used in the structure.
- The walls, concrete structures, door and other structures can be colored as per its material properties to look real as it is, and it can be done by using the MATERIAL BROWSER tool in the VISUAL BAR.
- The required "Lighting" can also be attached inside the created isometric view with the light settings in the VISUAL BAR.
- Then the Created isometric view will be allowed to render by using the render tool in the VISUAL BAR.
