1) 3D DRAWING OF FURNITURE ELEMENT

AIM: To create a 3D model of the funiture element

PROCEDURE:

1. Open new autocad file, set the unit as feet and inches
2. Create the appropriate layers for working on it
3. Select the box from the tool bar, create it of length 3' and width as 2'6" and height 2'6" in top view
4. Draw a line 2" from the right side and the front view
5. Command rectangle and draw it as dimension of 32" and 2'4"
6. Move the rectangle
7. Extrude the rectangle in Z axis of 2'4"
8. Dimensions are given by dimlinear

RESULT: Created the 3D model of the funiture element

2) 3D MODEL OF ISOLATED FOOTING

AIM: To create a 3D model of isolated footing

PROCEDURE:

1. Open new autocad file, set the unit as feet and inches
2. Create the appropriate layers for working on it
3. Command rectangle of 2'x2' on the top view. Offset inward 6"
4. Command 3dorbit to view the suitable position
5. Command move command small rectangle of 1'x1' by 2' in Z direction ortho on
6. Command loft toolbar and select the two rectangles to loft
7. Go to the top view and create rectangle of same size
8. Extrude height as 6 and the direction of extrusion is pointed by mouse
9. Give dimension

RESULT: Created the 3D model of isolated footing

3) 3D MODEL OF AASTHO TYPE GIRDER

AIM: To create a 3D model of AASTHO type girder using AutoCAD

PROCEDURE:

1. Open new autocad file, set the unit as feet and inches
2. Create the appropriate layers for working on it
3. Front view, Use UCS command, X and Y axis in the front view plane
4. command line draw the I section with the given dimension. Command L draw the line 1' that is the top width of the girder
5. Command L draw 6' downwards
6. Give a taper distance and join web and flange Mirror the same on the other side
7. Web is given a height of 1'6" from the end of tapering of flange portion
8. Extend the web of the offset line. Again offset 6" from last line and taper the sides
9. Draw the line of 10' in z direction
10. Command sweep select the section and then the path through which the section to be swept
11. Give the dimension

RESULT: Created the 3D model of AASTHO girder

4) 3D MODEL OF DROP COLUMN WITH PANEL

AIM: To create a 3D model of a drop column with panel section and its isometric view

PROCEDURE:

1. Command circle and draw it of diameter 1'6" in top view
2. Command region and select the circle
3. Extrude it with a distance of 10'
4. Create a cone by clicking on cone from the home toolbar, click the diamter and dase diamter as 1'6"
5. Frustum of the cone is to be placed on the top of the extruded circle
6. In top view create the rectangle of dimension 4'6" x 4'6". Extrude it to a height of 6"
7. Place the rectangle at the centre of cone in the top view and also adjust in the front view

RESULT: Created the 3D model of drop column with panel

5) 3D MODEL OF WALL

AIM: To create a 3D model of AASTHO type girder using AutoCAD

PROCEDURE:

1. Open new autocad file, set the unit as feet and inches
2. Create the appropriate layers for working on it
3. Command the rectangle of 10'x9"
4. Draw a line in the centre and offset 1.5' on both sides for the door opening
5. Command Boundary and pickpoint to select the region
6. Extrude the region to a height of 12'6" total height
7. Create rectangle in the place of door in the top view. Move the rectangle in Z axis at a height of 7' from the bottom
8. Select front view and draw a line from the center of the moved line of door. Draw slanting line as the reference figure
9. Mirror the line to the other side
10. Create the region after converted it into polyline
11. Extrude the regions
12. Command union
13. Give the dimension

RESULT: Created the 3D model of wall
