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 : To create a 3D furniture elements using the various commands in autocad
Introduction in 3D view :
- The process of creating a mathematical representation of any surface of an object in three dimensions by using special software
- A 3D model can even be represented as a two dimensional image by using the 3D rendering process
- It enables the professional creation and edition of 3D geometry and 3D models with solids, surface and objects
Procedure :
- To create a new sheet from application of auto CAD
- Go to the setting and to change the view of the page from drafting to 3D modeling
- Type, UN' to set the units of current format of measure in ( feet and inches)
- Type , LIMITS' to set the maximum dimension limits on the particular page
- First we take the top view of the page
- Type,REC' to create a rectangle with a dimensions of 2'6''x3'0''
- And then we take a 3D custom view
- Type,3D ORBIT' to view a 3D custom viewport in the current viewport
- Then, we take a all box dimension to create it form the origin point is (0,0,0).
- Next point we take to x direction of (@2'6'',0,0'')
- Type extrude to create a surface or solid of a 2D surface
- Then, we have to change the view of 3D faces by identifying
- To save the diagram to particular file
Result :
- The diagram of 3D furniture elements is drawn as per the dimension using the software of autoCAD

Aim : To create a 3D model of an isolated footings using the various commands in the autoCAD
Procedure :
- To create a new sheet fom application of autoCAD
- Go to the setting and to change the view of the page from drafting to 3D modeling
- Type,UN' to set the units of current format of measures(feet and inches)
- Type, LIMITS, to set the maximum dimension limits on the particular page
- First we take the top view of the page
- Type, REC' to create a rectangle with a given dimensions
- And then we take to a 3D custom view
- The footing dimension is 4'0''x4'0''
- The depth of footing is 6'' and reduced to the depth of 2'' and width is 1'0''
- Copy - This commands is used to selected objects from a given square to destination, learning a copy at the originally selected location
- Move - move the objects to the destination place from the source place
- And then to join the all lines
- Type, 3D ORBIT' to view a 3D orbit viewport in the current viewport
- Type, 3D FACE' for allows to generate 3D faces by identifying
- To save the diagram to particular file
Result :
- The diagram of 3D model of an isolated footing is drawn as per dimensions using the software of autoCAD

Aim :
- To create a 3D view of the AASTHO type grider using the various commands in autoCAD
Procedure :
- To create a new sheet form the application of autoCAD
- Go to the setting and to change the view of the page from the drafting to 3D modeling
- Type, UN' to set the units of current format of measure (feet and inches)
- Type, LIMITS' to set the maximum dimension limits on the particular page
- First we take the top view of the page
- To take , L' to create a line to draw the I section AASTHO grider
- The origin point is (0,0,0)
- The next point is (@1'6'',0,0)
- The next point is (@0,0,6'')
- The next point is(@6''<0<135) and to follow the all given dimensions to draw the section
- Type ,3D ORBIT' to view a 3D orbit viewport in the current viewport
- Type, 3D FACE' for allows to generate 3D faces by identifying
- Type, REGION' to convert object that encloses an area into a 2D region objects
- Type, EXTRUDE' to create a surface or solid of a 2D surface or a 3D curve
- The extruded length of the section girder is 10 feet
- Then, we have to change the view of 2D wire, Shaded conceptional, etc...
- To save the diagram to particular file
Result :
- The diagram of 3D type of AASTHO girder type is drawn as per dimensions using the software of autoCAD

Aim :
- To create a 3D model of a drop column with panel using the various commands in autoCAD
Procedure :
- To create a new sheet from application of autoCAD
- Go to the setting and to change the view of the page from drafting to 3D modeling
- Type, UN' to set the units of current format of measure ( feet and inches)
- Type, LIMITS' to set the maximum dimensions limits on the particular page
- First we take the top view of the page
- Type, REC' to create a rectangle with a given dimensions
- And then we take to a 3D custom view
- To choose the top view of page
- The rectanglar size is 4'6''
- Type, C' to create a circle options
- The column cap height id 1 feet
- The column head thickness is 6 inch,
- The height of the column is 10 feet
- COPY - this commands is used to selected objects from a given square to destination, learning a copy at the originally selected location
- MOVE - moves the objects to the destination place from the surface place
- After completed the copy of rectangle to make the box like structure of column head
- After we take to draw a circle of diameter of 1'6''
- Type, EXTRUDE' to create a surface or solid of a 2D surface or a 3D curve
- The extruded length of the circular column with a negative direction of Z is 10 feet
- Type, 3D ORBIT' to view a 3D orbit viewport in the current viewport
- Type, 3D FACE' for allows to generate 3D faces by identifying
- Type, REGION' to convert objects that encloses an area into a 2D region objects
- To save the diagram to particular file
Result :
- The diagram of 3D model of a column with drop panel is drawn as per dimensions using the software of autoCAD

Aim :
- To create a 3D model of a wall using the various commands in autoCAD
Procedure :
- To create a new sheet from application of autoCAD
- Go to the setting and to change the view of the page from drafting to 3D modeling
- Type, UN' to set the units of current format of measure ( feet and inches)
- Type, LIMITS' to set the maximum dimension limits on the particular page
- First we take the top view of the page
- Before we start the 3D work to create a plan of wall at 2D
- To make the wall thickness of 250mm
- To fix the door and wall opening from wherever we need
- Type, REGION' to convert objects that encloses an area into a 2D region objects
- After creating perfect plan to do next work of 3D solids works
- Type, EXTRUDE' to create a surface or solid of a 2D surface or a 3D curve
- The extruded of wall height id 10 feet from the base
- And then to draw the rectangle of wherever having the doors and windows
- This comes after to follow the extruded of door opening height of 7 feet
- Type, 3D ORBIT' to viewport in the current viewport
- Type, 3D FACE' for allows to generate 3D faces by identifying
- Type, REGION' to convert objects that encloses
- Type, SUBSTRACT' to remove the open required places of doors and windows
- To save the diagram to particular file
Result :
- The diagram of 3D model of a wall is drawn as per dimensions using the software of autoCAD
