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

1.      3D rendered model for a Residential Building in AutoCAD:

AIM:

To create a 3D rendered model for a Residential Building using AutoCAD.

INTRODUCTION:

The following commands and tools are used in this Auto CAD drawing,

• Line: It helps to create a line between two points
• Xline: It helps to create infinite lines which is also known as construction lines.
• Rectangle: It helps to create a four-sided geometry with a desired length and width.
• Offset: It helps to offset an object at a particular distance.
• Move: It helps to move an already existing object from one point to the other by picking a base point.
• Copy: It helps to copy an already existing object from one point to the other by picking a base point.
• Erase: It helps to erase a selected object.
• 3DOrbit: It helps to view the 3Dobject in all direction.
• Fillet: It helps to create corner with or without radius
• Extrude: It helps to elongate an object and convert it into 3D object.
• Union: It helps to join the different 3D object in to single object
• Boundary: It helps to create the 2D object to connect by boundary to form a region
• Region: It helps to make 2D frame into 3D object
• Subtract: It helps to subtract an object from the bigger object.
• Explode: It helps to break an object in to different parts.
• Hatch: It helps to differentiate each object with its different patterns.
• Sweep: It helps to make 3D object out of 2Dobject by selecting the path

PROCEDURE:

• In the status bar set the setting as 3D modeling
• Enter Units and select type as Engineering and units as Inches
• Enter LIMMAX as 50’
• Create layers as soon below by clicking layer properties on the panel.
• 

• Apply each layer respectively
• Keep view control in top and visual style control as 2D wireframe.
• Total plot size is 42’ x 60’
• Using line, XLine, offset commands draw the plan with wall thickness 9”.
• It’s a high ceiling G+1 residential building with west facing.
• 
• Use Hatch to hatch the high ceiling area with the below setting
• 
• Select dimension layer and click dimlinear from the Annotate tab and give dimension by pick the starting and end point.
• Select Text layer and Enter DT and MT to enter the text respectively.
• Select Furniture layer and draw the beds, wardrobes, countertop, dining table, Sofa and place them accordingly
• 
• Change view to SW Isometric view and 2D Wireframe
• Create boundary by entering Boundary on the command which will display the boundary creation popup
• 
• Select region as object type and create boundary where ever needed.
• Put layer off on dimensions and texts.
• Create the ground floor level slab to 1’ and extrude the wall height to 3’
• 
• Move the UCS face to the wall and extrude the wall to 7’ with out extruding the windows
• Enter rec and create rectangles on space between walls for creating lintel and extrude it to 3’
• Go to view and click new view and create a new view as ground floor
• 
• Increase the living room window size by using rec, extrude and subtract command.
• Draw staircase separately outside the plan using the dimensions as mentioned in the plan with line, region and extrude command.
• Pick the point and place it on the plan
• 
• Select slab layer and enter polyline and create pline inside the wall other than heigh ceiling and staircase area. Make region and extrude it to 4”
• 
• Create portico column in front of 9”x 9” of height 10’7” using rec, region, extrude command
• 
• Copy the first floor walls on the ground floor walls
• 
• Create doors and window of W1 5’x7’, W2 4’X4’, W3 2’X4’ and door of D1 5’x7’, D2 4’x7’
• 
• 
• 
• Place it all on the window space
• 
• Go to visualize and click material browser to select the materials
• 
• Click render in the panel which displays the popup
• 

Result:

• The result is obtained from the above steps
• Render view of the residential building
•
