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

1 . Create a 3 dimensional model of the residential building with a rendered view.

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

Introduction :

Commands used for drawing the 3D rendering view of the building are as shown below.
Extrude - Location : Draw > modeling > extrude
This autocad 3D extrude command allow the users to create a 3D object by the extruding 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
Substract - Location : Modify > solid editing > substract
This command is opposite to the union command ; this command works when there is a common area in both the objects, then this command substract 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 > revlove
This autocad 3D command creates a 3D solid by revolving a 2D object around a axis

Steps for creating a plan :

Open autocad
In the right left corner click on the settings icon that is the icon of workspace
Select 3D modeling
Enter UN(units) command in the command box and change the type as decimal and select the precision as 0.0
Now select the Dim style in the command box and modify the settings and select primary units as decimal and give precision as 0.0
Select the 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
Trim the unwanted corner lines
Offset 230 for wall
Offset 5000 for bathroom in X direction and 5000 in Y direction
Offset 5000 in X direction and offset 3500 in Y direction for kitchen + Dinning
Offset 1000 for wash basin
Offset 2000 in X and 2000 in Y direction both for bath and WC
All walls are 230 mm thick
Line command is used to draw windows and doors
Size of window is 1500x 1500
Size of doors are 1000x2100 and 1200x2100
Landing width is 1000
Tread is 300 and rise is 150
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 modeling
Comman boundary and in that select region
Create boundary as well as regions of the plan
Extrude the regions that are the walls to the height of 3000 from bottom
Floor to floor height of the building is 3000
Create different type of layers using layer properties like 3D walls, window frames, slab, window glass etc as desired
Assign colours to each layer seperately
Line command is used to draw the windows and doors
Extrude the windows and doore 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 600 at the bottom
Create the staircase and extrude it to the distance of 1200
Create the mumty seperately and place it on the top of the building

Steps for rendering :

Go to the visualize tab form the fibbon
This will give access to the panels like light, sunlight, camera, animation, render and views
Create different views using the camera and render the building
Place the light at the desired locations
