Centenary Building My Layers
1
3D Design Procedures & Practice Setting Paper Space
Right click then hit ‘Page Setup Manager’.
2
3D Design Procedures & Practice
Check the (paper) plot size here.
To change the plot scale click on the edit button
3
3D Design Procedures & Practice
Make sure that scale is 1:1 mm if so then paper space should be ok.
4
3D Design Procedures & Practice Location plan
I got an image of the location plan from Blackboard and I imported it into Auto Cad. Floor plan
I started drawing the floor plan here. As you can see I was still trying to workout where things go and if the measurements were right.
5
3D Design Procedures & Practice Doors
The measurements looked fine so I went on to the doors. I drew a small box, line and a circle to create the door. Trim tool
I trimmed the unwanted parts of the circle
6
3D Design Procedures & Practice
Mirror tool
I followed the same process to draw the double doors but this time I did not trim anything.
After I mirrored the door I then trimmed the excess off both doors.
7
3D Design Procedures & Practice
Fillet
Completed Floor Plan
I noticed that some of my measurements were wrong, so I went back to the site to double-check them.

3D Design Procedures & Practice Copy tool
Selecting objects
Selecting point of displacement

3D Design Procedures & Practice
Placing copies
Endpoint

3D Design Procedures & Practice
Extend EX – Keyboard shortcut To Execute • Select object(s) or (select all)
Enter or spacebar • (Fence/Crossing/Project/Edge/Undo) •
At this point I simply selected the objects that I wanted to extend by drawing a green box around them from right – left.
11
3D Design Procedures & Practice Green box
•
Enter or spacebar to end command
12
3D Design Procedures & Practice Completed Floor Plan: After double checking measurements
Planning layout: Long Section Offset: stairs
13
3D Design Procedures & Practice
Stairs
Landing
Rails
Drawing steps I changed the color of the stairs so that I could see them better.
14
3D Design Procedures & Practice Array AR – Keyboard shortcut I created a path array
This toolbar enabled me to edit the path.
The hotgrips enabled me to move the steps
15
3D Design Procedures & Practice
Rails
Trim
Copy

3D Design Procedures & Practice Detailed component
17
3D Design Procedures & Practice Isometric drawing To set isometric mode: • •
Right click on the grid in the status bar Click on settings
This box should appear
18
3D Design Procedures & Practice •
Choose Isometric snap
Another way of doing this is by right clicking on ‘object snap’ in the status bar, settings and then ‘snap and grid’. Lift
Drawn using polyline
19
3D Design Procedures & Practice Drawing walls
Drawing window
I made a mistake with the measurements when drawing this wall. I realized later on and drew it again at the correct size.
Extending line
20
3D Design Procedures & Practice Trimming & Extending
I trimmed the lines I did not need and extended the wall. The result is show below
21
3D Design Procedures & Practice
Fillet: Fire door F – Keyboard shortcut
22
3D Design Procedures & Practice Array of windows Fillet using radius
I used the fillet to round off the edges of the windows
23
3D Design Procedures & Practice Completed array of windows
Landing leading to second floor
24
3D Design Procedures & Practice Steps
Rails: Ground floor
I started drawing the rails here
25
3D Design Procedures & Practice
I used the same method as I did for the long section when drawing the rails.
26
3D Design Procedures & Practice Completed isometric
Axonometric floor plan
1. Copy the image
27
3D Design Procedures & Practice
2. Select object from right to left
3. RO – Rotate to 45 degrees and make sure cursor is on the right. A preview of the image should appear.
28
3D Design Procedures & Practice
4. Drawing line to make wall Copy I can copy and paste to save time.
29
3D Design Procedures & Practice
The windows, doors and rails were the last things that I did in this drawing because they had more details. The Axonometric so far
30
3D Design Procedures & Practice Trimming
I trimmed overlapping area’s in this case the windows. Completed Axonometric
31
3D Design Procedures & Practice Hatching I left the hatching till last so that I could focus on drawing. Floor plan
Long section
32
3D Design Procedures & Practice Short section
Axonometric
33
3D Design Procedures & Practice Dimensioning To change the settings of the dimension use the DIMSTYLE command to bring up dimension style manager.
Floor plan in viewport
34
3D Design Procedures & Practice All my drawings
Tools I used PLine: PL – Keyboard shortcut • Specify first point • Specify next point Trim: TR – Keyboard shortcut • Specify object or select all • Enter/Spacebar Mirror: MI – Keyboard shortcut • Select objects • Specify first point of mirror line • Specify second point of mirror line • Erase source object – Yes / No
35
3D Design Procedures & Practice Copy: CO – Keyboard shortcut • Select objects • Specify base point or (Displacement /mode) • Specify second point or (Array) • Enter/spacebar Extend: EX – Keyboard shortcut • Select object or (select all) • Select object to extend Offset: O – keyboard shortcut • Specify offset distance • Specify object to offset or (exit/undo) Fillet: F - Keyboard shortcut • Select first object or (undo/polyline/Radius/Trim/Multiple) • Select second object or shift-select to apply corner or (Radius) • Enter or Spacebar to end command Array: AR – Keyboard shortcut • Select objects • Enter or spacebar • Enter array type • Select grip to array
