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

AIM:

  • To create various 3D Models like;
  1. Furniture,
  2. Footing,
  3. Girder,
  4. Column drop with panels, and
  5. Gable Walls in AutoCAD.

USED COMMANDS:

  • UNITS
  • LIMITS
  • LINE
  • PLINE
  • RECTANGLE
  • OFFSET
  • COPY
  • MOVE
  • SUBTRACT
  • EXTRUDE
  • REGION
  • UCS
  • BOX
  • UNION
  • BOUNDARY
  • 3D ORBIT
  • LOFT
  • CONE
  • MIRROR

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

AIM:

  • To create a 3D model of the furniture element.

PROCEDURE:

  • Open a new AutoCAD file and set the unit as feet and inches
  • Create the appropriate layers for working on it
  • Select the box from the toolbar, create it of length 3' and width 2'6" and height 2'6" in the top view
  • Draw a line 2" from the right side and the front view
  • Command rectangle and draw it as a dimension of 32" and 2'4"
  • Move the rectangle
  • Extrude the rectangle in the Z axis of 2'4"
  • Dimensions are given by dim-linear

RESULT: Created the 3D model of the furniture element

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

AIM:

  • To create a 3D model of isolated footing

PROCEDURE:

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

RESULT: Created the 3D model of isolated footing

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

AIM:

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

PROCEDURE:

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

RESULT: Created the 3D model of the AASTHO girder

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

AIM:

  • To create a 3D model of a drop column with a panel section and its isometric view using AutoCAD

PROCEDURE:

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

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

------------------------------------X-----------------------------------

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

AIM:

  • To create a 3D model of Gable Walls using AutoCAD

PROCEDURE :

  • open AutoCAD and set the units using the units command.
  • use the UCS command to set the directions of the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis.
  • draw horizontally forward with a length of 10'.
  • draw the other line vertically upwards with a length of 10'.
  • draw the line from the previous line with an angle of 125 degrees.
  • Again from the previous line we draw another line with an angle of 225 degrees and with a length of 5'.
  • join the line from the first line to the last line.
  • draw the rectangle inside the wall as shown in the figure.
  • use the extrude command to extrude the wall with a thickness of 9".
  • Again we use the extrude command to extrude the inside rectangle with a thickness of 9',
  • click the custom visual styles at the top left corner of the drawing screen, and select the shaded option in the custom visual styles.
  • Give the dimension

RESULT: Created the 3D model of the wall
