Aim 1:

Create a 3D Furniture element as shown in the Figure. Assume dimensions which are missing.

Procedure:

1. Draw the lines in CAD as per the given figure.
2. line starting point (0,0,0),(@0,3',0),(@3',0,0)&(@0,-3',0). press esc.
   • 
3. Enter offset command of value 2" given in figure.
   • 
4. Fillet the internal lines.
   • 
5. now close the front openings of the figure.
   • 
6. Now define the region of the closed area.
   • 
7. enter extrude command and extrude the shaded face 2'4" because top is of 2" again.
   • 
8. Now Draw rectangle on the top of the extruded parts.
   • 
9. Again enter the REGION command and select the rectangle.
   • 
10. Now enter the EXTRUDE command and extrude the rectangle plate 2".
    • 
11. Select all side and top extrusion and enter UNION command to make the complete figure.
    • 
12. Change Shaded workspaces to Hidden.
    • 

Final Result:

Aim 2:

Create the 3d Model of an Isolated footing as shown in Figure.

Procedure:

1. Draw the 3' x 3' rectangle.
   • 
2. Make offset of 1' inside.
   • 
3. Open 3D view.
   • 
4. Now select the middle rectangle ans move it in Z-direction about 2'6".
   • 
5. Make copy of bigger rectangle in Z-direction about 6"
   • 
   • 
6. using Line join all the corners of all three rectangles.
   • 
7. Now, enter the 3dface command and make the faces as per the given figure.
   • 

Final Result:

Aim 3:

Create the 3D view of the AASTHO Type Girder.

Procedure:

1. Draw the section on XY plane as per the given dimensions.
   • 
2. Enter REGION command and make the section surface.
   • 
3. Now enter the EXTRUDE command and extrude the face about 10' as per the given figure.
   • 

Final Result:

Aim 4:

Create a 3d Model of a drop column with panel as shown in section and isometric view.

Procedure:

1. Draw the Bottom Circle of 1'6".
   • 
2. Draw the square of 4'6" and move about 11' in Z Direction.
   • 
   • 
3. now region circle and rectangle using REGION command.
   • 
4. Enter EXTRUDE and extrude the circle region about 10' Z-direction.
   • 
5. Enter extrude again and extrude the rectangle about 6".
   • 
6. Now enter the Cone Command and select the bottom radius and top radius to draw the frustum between rectangle and circle.
   • 

Final Result:

Aim 5:

Create the 3d model of a wall as shown in Figure. Consider wall thickness as 9”.

Procedure:

1. Draw the section of the Door in XZ-Plan .
   • 
2. Enter the region Command and select the section of the figure.
   • 
3. Enter the EXTRUDE command and extrude the face about 9" as given.
   •
