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

AIM OF THE PROJECT- Creating a 3D rendered model for a Residential Building in AutoCad.

INTRODUCTION- COMMANDS USED FOR DRAWING THE 3D RENDERED VIEW OF BUILDING ARE AS FOLLOWS.

- Extrude- Location: Draw > Modeling > Extrude

This AutoCAD 3D Extrude command allows the user to create a 3D object by extruding a 2D face along a line or path.

- Sweep- Location: Draw > Modeling > Sweep

This command helps the user to extrude the 2D objects without the 2D face being orthogonal to the beginning of the path.

- Union- Location: Modify > Solids Editing > Union

This AutoCAD 3D command allows the user to combine two objects converting into one single object.

- Subtract- Location: Modify > Solids Editing > Subtract

This command is opposite to the union command; this command works when there is a common area in both the objects. Then this command subtracts the object A from the object B.

- Intersect- Location: Modify > Solid Editing > Intersect

With this AutoCAD 3D command the user is left with the area that is common to both the objects.

- Revolve- Location: Draw > Modeling > Revolve

This AutoCAD 3D command creates a 3D solid by revolving a 2D object around an axis.

STEPS FOR CREATING A PLAN-

Using the line, rectangle, construction lines the plan layout of a single residential building was prepared as shown.

Doors and windows was provided at places necessary as shown in plan.

By providing a suitable style all the required texts was also made

he staircase and steps, Common corridor was made next.

Using the mirror command, the plan prepared was mirrored to obtain the ground floor of residential flat as shown.

The residential flat has the same plan throughout 4 floors.

As plan layout is same throughout the entire designing will be carried out in the single residential building than the entire floor.

In order to do that a copy of the single residential flat was made and all the works was carried on it.

Now click on Extrude command in the home tab and press enter, move mouse in upward direction and specify height as 9’6” and press enter. Now the 3D wall is formed.

Using the polyline draw lines connecting the outer wall of the building at the top.

Now Using the Move command, move the polyline made downwards to the plinth level.

Using the extrude command extrude the polyline by 1’ hence forming the floor.

Then with copy command copy the polyline and place it in 3D plan using the end points selected.

Now extrude the polyline downwards by 1’ to obtain the common corridor.

Also draw polylines at the plinth level throughout and using offset command offset it outward by 1”.

Join all the polylines just created using the joint command and then extrude the polyline by 1’ upwards to create the plinth

Now isolate the roof of the 1,2,3 floors

After that guard wall was built on both sides of corridor in the 1^st floor using polyline, extrude and turning on dynamic UCS

STEPS FOR RENDERING-

• Go to the visualize tab from the fibbon.
• This will give access to the panels like light, sunlight, Camera, Animations, Render and Views.
• Create different views using the camera anf render the building.
• Place the lights at the desired locations.
