Project 2_Creating a 3D rendered model for a Residential Building in AutoCad
Aim: To Create a 3 dimensional model of the residential building with a rendered view.

Introduction:
The main objective of this project is to understand about to create a Plan in 2D, then convert it into 3D using AutoCAD 3D, applying materials and rendering.
AutoCAD is primarily used for generating 2D sketches. While it is possible to create 3D objects, AutoCAD is built around a flat, sketch-based interface. There is a wide range of pre-defined 3D objects in AutoCAD. These objects are cylinders, spheres and wedges and many more. But then users use 2D objects and modify them using the 3D commands accordingly. So, AutoCAD 3D commands like Extrude, Sweep, Revolve, and Union are used by the users.Also, the user must know the importance of the Viewport feature
Procedure:
- First of all using 2D drawing commands (Line,Poly-Line,Rectangle,Offset) & Editing Commands (Trim,Extend) start the drawing of proposed residential building with accurate dimensions and Follow indian standards.
- After creating floor plan outer and partition walls we make it that plan from 2D to 3D by walls Extrude using Presspull Command
- after that we set door and window openings using Subtract Command
- And Design doors and windows individually using 3D commands(Extrude, Presspull, Subtract commands) and attached to the object drawing
- Next apply the Material to the all Walls, doors, windows, in plan using Materials Command
- Finally Render the 3D structure using Render Command.
- All Commands are shown above which are used in project i submitted.

Result:
I Submit an AutoCAD file which shows all details of my 3D model with View port.
