Project 2_Creating a 3D rendered model for a Residential Building in AutoCad

Aim:- To create a 3D rendered model for a residential building

Introduction:-

Floor Plan

• Floor plan is a type of drawing that shows the layout of a home or property from above
• Planning of a building gives the idea about the building how the building will be done in future
• Planning plays an important role in the civil engineering because without this planning we can't determine structural element
• Planning may be residential, public or commercial  building

Elevation:-

• It's used to see the view of a building in a software before the construction

AutoCAD:-

It is essential to draft the geometry

The different tools required in this drafts are line  (L), fillet (F), offset (O), Hatching (H) and Hatch edit (HE), trim (TR), Extrude (EXT), 3D Move (3DM), 3D Orbit (3DO), 3D Rotate (3DROTATE), Subtract (SUB), Solid edit (SOLIDEDIT), Loft (LOFT), Rectangle (REC), Circle (C), Boundary (BO), Render (RR).

Procedure:-

• Go to start menu, click on Start drawing
• Type stratup (Enter) in command line 
• Enter the new value of start up:1
• Go to application menu and select new or type new in command line
• In the "create new drawing" dialogue box contains imperial  type of systems and metric type of system 
• We select the metric system in the "start from scratch" option
• After that in Advance setup option select the decimal unit system in the units 

The above procedure should be followed every time when the new sheet is opened 

                               Entering the start up command in the command line       

                             Entering the value 1 for the start up

                            When we go to the new file then we get this file select the metric from start from scratch

                           Then advance setup setting should be done by clicking OK 

                          Keep the units in decimal and adjust precision then click next            

                           Keep angle in decimal degree and adjust precision then click next

                          Select the angle measurement in east and click on next                    

                            Select angle direction in counter clockwise and click on next

                           Keep the width as 12m and length of 9m as default and click on finish

Aim:- To draft the plan of a given building by using AutoCAD

                                                                         Plan

Procedure to Plan:-

By using direct distance entry method

• Here all the units are in Engineering (feet and inches)
• Select the construction line tool by entering XL (Enter) in the command line
• Select the vertical line and place it any where on the screen
• Next by using a same command (construction line) select horizontal line and place it on the screen
• Dimesion of the building is 20'x60'
• Take a offset of 9" for the outer wall from the vertical line 
• Take a offset of 9" for the outer wall from the horizontal line

To get Master bedroom
