PROCEDURE
- Open autocad file in windows desktop.
- A dialog box will open it shows startup from scratch.
- Click the radio button imperial to start the project.
- In command box type gridmode to show the gridmode by typing 1 in the command box
- Type F8 to get ortho on.
- Type limmax to set the maximum layout.
- Type llmits to set the layout.
- Type UN FOR UNITS and set to Engineering.
STEP 1
- Drawing of plan and elevation in 2D
- Type l-line to draw the outer wall and type-o-offset the inner wall.
- Draw the outer wall and inner wall.
- Type DT- text inside the plan.
- Type T- multiline text
- Type D-dimension style to dimension the plan.
- Type T- multiline text to specify the rooms.
- Type B- block to draw the door and windows.
- Type Dimlinear to dimension the rooms.
- Draw the window and door and to complete the plan as show in fig below.
STEP-2
ADDING OF LAYERS
- Type LA-layers tab will open.
- Set the colors for the window,doors,text,dimension etc....
Step 3
ELEVATION
- TYPE xl- xline in the vertical direction to align in the plan.
- type H-hatch the plan in the properties.
- type LA -layers align as per the layer properties.
- type t- multiline text to align as per the text.
STEP-4
VIEWING OF PLAN AND SETTING UP BOUNDARY
- After completion of plan and elevation in 2d set the workspace to 3D modeling.
- Set the view to draw in 3D modeling,type-V-view
- Type v-view the object set the view in the current as shown below.
- Set UCS current then set the boundary of the drawing.
- Type BO- Boundary to regen the plan to 3d.
- Set the boundary and extrude the outer wall and inner wall.
- Use the boundary to draw the windows and doors and gate.
STEP-5
EXTRUDING THE WALLS
Type EX-Extrude
- Set the layer of the outer wall and extrude the outer wall as shown below.
Type Union command to union into one.
STEP-6
DRAWING OF WINDOWS, DOORS AND WINDOWS
- Draw the windows,doors and gate seperately as shown below.
GATE
Use the boundary option to set the boundaryand extrude the gate as per dimensions.
STEP-7
COPYING OF WINDOWS, DOOR AND GATE
Before copying group the object to one.
- Type group the object to one.
- Type Co-copy the door, windows and gate
- Copy the object into the selected path as shown fig below.
- Set the slab on the top of the floor.
- Use the hidden option to copy the floors.
- Use the copy command to copy the floor to next level as shown in the fig below.
REALISTIC VIEW
STEP-8
ADDING OF MATERIALS
- Press the vizualise button to open the material browser.
- For the wall i have used stucco paint for the outer wall as shown.
- For the windows i have used the glass panels in the material browser.
- And for the elevation the stone propeties is used.
FRONT ELEVATION (Shaded view)
STEP-9
AFTER ADDING OF MATERIALS
- After adding of paint,wood,stone and grass etc ..
- Set the view to realsitic as the fig shown below.
STEP -10
ADIING OF LIGHTS
- PRESS the vizualize ribbon bar to press the create light button to create the lights as per the standards.
- Set the properties on to create the lights on and off.
- Set the distant lights to see it visible. as ribbon bar shows below
STEP-11
- Type RR- render the 3d model as shown below.
- As per the resolution set the render model is completed.
RESULT: The 3D model of a residential building with a rendered view is completed.
