Creating various 3D Models like Furniture, Footing, Girder, Column drop with panel and Gable Wall in AutoCad

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

AIM:

Create a 3D furniture element as shown in the figure.

INTRODUCTION:

Create the profile by using command tools are

• Relative rectangular coordinate system

• Region

• Extrude

• 3D face

• Hide

• 3D object

Procedure:

• Open Auto cad creates new sheets with imperial units.

• Set the units as engineering and precision as 0'-0"

• Change the Work space to 3D modeling and set the view as SW-isometric.

• Use PL command Specify the first point as 0,0,0

• By using relative rectangular coordinate system

• Start the point as @0,0,2'-6"

• Next point as @0, -3',0

• Next point as @0,0, -2'-6"

• Next point as @0, -2",0

• Next point as @0,0,2'-4"

• Next point as @0,2'-8"

• Next point as @0,0, -2'4"

• Close the point as @0,2",0

• Created drawn as shown in step by step below.

• To create the surface of the object command Region

• Change the view style to Shaded

• Type Extrude the created surface in the X-axis at a distance of 2'

• Select the object to extrude the surface

• Change the view as SW isometric

• Create a rectangle dimension 2'8", 0'-2" at the base of the object created

• Make the rectangle as surface by using region

• Change the UCS style to hidden and create the DIM Following required.

RESULT:

The 3D furniture model is created as shown in figure and the missing dimension are assumed.

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

AIM:

To create a 3Dmodel of isolated footing as shown in figure.

Introduction:

The isolated footing is created by the box and pyramid tools and dimensions it to be check Assume the size of the footing is 3'x3'

Procedure:

• Open Auto cad software and open new drawing set imperial units

• Unit as set in engineering and precision as 0'-0"

• Set the workspace to 3D modeling and set the view as Sw isometric.

• Create a box using box tool under the solid tab

• Specify the first corner point of the box as 0,0,0

• And another corner as @3',3',0

• Specify the height as 6"

• Type UCS in the command

• Use pyramid tool create pyramid at the top level.

• Take the first point at the top first corner of the box and second point

• At the top second corner point of the box

• Select the top radius option

• Enter the top radius as 6"

• Specify the height as 2'

• Set the view style as hidden

• And create the dimensions by using Dim linear.

Result:

The 3D model of isolated footing is created as shown in the figure.

3. Create a 3D view of the AASTHO Type Girder.

AIM:

Create a 3D view of the AASTHO Type girder.

Procedure:

• Create a new sheet

• Set the units as 0'-0"as engineering

• Select the object or bound area

• Specify the extrusion height or multiple 4 sides

• Click a face, curve, inside bounded area

• Regenerating model and press esc

• With the line draw a 6" downwards.

• With snap on draw a line from the center of 1' and offset 3" on both sides such that the width of web becomes 6"

• Create a tapper distance and join the web and the flange mirror the same on the other side

• Extend the web to the offset line again offset 6 from the last line and taper the sides mirror the tapered portion

• The sides should be tapered such that the bottom should be a center line and offset 9"

• Join the tapper

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

AIM:

• Command REC and set center point mention dimensions are length as 3'-6" width as 3'-6"

• Type move and select the rectangle at basepoint

• Specify the point as @6",6"

• Click PYRAMID and select the option Edge

• Select the First Point of edge as rectangle and second point

• Select the TOP radius as 1'-6" and the height as 1'

• Click on the ribbon tab CYLINDER. Select the 3P
