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

AIM:

Creating a 3D rendered model for a Residential Building in AutoCad.

COMMANDS USED FOR DRAWING THE 3D RENDERED VIEW :

• 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-

• Open Auto Cad.
• In the right left corner click on the settings icon that is the icon of workspace.
• Select 3d modelling.
• Enter UN (Units ) command in the command box and change the type as engineering and inches select precision as 0.0
• Now enter Dim style in command box and modify the settings and select primary units as engineering and give precision as 0.0
• Select line command and draw in top or 2D mode.
• Line command is used to draw the plan.
• Command X line and draw line in X Direction as well as in Y direction.
• draw the rectangle 30'x40'.
• Offset 9" for wall.
• Trim the unwanted corner lines.
• Offset 10' for bedroom in X direction and 12' in Y direction.
• Offset 9" for wall.
• offset 8' in X direction and offset 10' in Y direction for kitchen.
• Offset 3'6" in X and 12' in Y direction both for bath.
• Bath. wall is 4.5" thick.
• Line command is used to draw windows and doors.
• Size of window is 4'x4" and 3'x4'.
• Size of doors are 4'x6'8",3'x6'8" and 2'7"x6'8".
• Tread is 1' and rise is 6".
• Mtext command is used to give naming to the plan.

STEPS FOR CREATING THE 3D PLAN.

• In the right left corner click on the settings icon that is the icon of workspace.
• Select 3d modelling.
• Command boundary and in that select region.
• Create boundaries as well as regions of the plan.
• Extrude the regions that are the walls to the height of 10' from bottom.
• Floor to floor height of the building is 10'.
• Create different type of layers using layer properties like 3D walls, window frames, slab, window glass etc as desired.
• Assign colors to each layer separately
• Line command is used to draw the windows and doors.
• Extrude the windows and doors to the suitable depth.
• Rotated 3D is used to rotate the objects as in windows and doors.
• Move and copy command is used to move the windows to their desired locations.
• Command polyline at the terrace and create the parapet wall at the top of the building.
• Command polyline and create the plinth of the building of 1' at the bottom.
• Create the staircase and extrude it to the distance of 5'.
• Create the separately and place it on the top of the building.

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.
