 INTRODUCTION TO AUTO CAD 3D

Most of the popular and large CAD system has the ability to the model in 3 dimensions.
The spatial image of the object is drawn in a pictorial projection using X-Y-Z coordinate
geometry. It can be recalled or redrawn in 3D pictorial projection or in any orthographic
projection. Representing the image of the object in number of a 2D views. A wire frame
representation is a 3D line drawing of an object showing only the edges without any side, surface
in between the image of the object wire frame, as the name indicates, as the appearance of the
frame constructed by thin wire representing the edges, projected line and curves.

3D AUTO CAD COMMANDS

In auto cad, various solid modeling commands provide and easy method to generate three
dimensional models. A part from creating basic solid such as box, cone , cylinder , torus , wedge,
and sphere etc. you can additionally create solid from 2D object by extruding and revolving them
more complex solids can be created by adding and subtracting volumes.

BOX
The box commands enable you to create a 3D cube or cuboids.
Command: specify first corner of cube or center and specify other corner or (cube/length): specify
height or (2 point).
CYLINDER
Command cylinder
Specify center point for base of cylinder or (elliptical) : <0, 0, and 0>
Specify center point for base of cylinder or (diameter):
Specify height of cylinder or (center or other end)
SPHERE
This command enables you to create a 3D solid sphere with its central axis parallel to the Z
axis of the current UCS
Command: specify center of shape and specify radius or (diameter) of sphere
TORUS
This command enable to create a 3D donut shaped solid.
Command: torus
Specify center of to torus and specify radius of torus or (diameter)
UCS
While working in auto cad by default you are placed in world co- ordinate system. UCS or user
coordinate system is used as a tool for creating and editing 3D drawing. It can also be described
as customized or user defined co- ordinate system to crate 3D object. Using command you can
change the orientation in which 2D sections are drawing and the direction in which the objects
are extruded.
UNION
This command enables you to combine two or more solids.
Command: union (UNI) and select object
SUBTRACT
This command enables you to subtract a solid from another solid object.
Command: subtract
INTERSECT
This command enables you to create a composite solid that contain volume to two or more
overlapping solid objects.

SOLID MODELLING

A surface model is made up to surfaces and it is more realistic model than a wire frame
model for presentations. But since it is the information about the mass, it is not a true presentation
of the actual object in the real world. A solid model on the other hand is fully fledged presentation
which consists of opaque clothing. You can also perform mass property analysis on it. It is
mathematically equalant representation of its physical counterpart.
The following method may be used to create solid model in auto cad.

EXTRUDE

This command enables you to draw solid extruding 2D object along a specified path. You
can extrude closed object such as circle, ellipse, polygon and closed poly line etc...
Note that intersection or unclosed cross section poly lines that self cross does note extrude.
Command: extrude
Specify object :( select the object to extrude)
Specify height of extrusion or (path): enter value of height enter pat the prompt area if the path
option chosen select an object that describes the path.
Specify angle of taper for extrusion <0>: (enter value for tapering the extrude object if required)

REVOLVE
Close object such as circle <ellipse, polygon and splines can be revolved about an axis to generate
a solid.
Command: revolve
Select object: (pick the object of revolve)
Specify start point for the axis of revolution or define axis by (object, x-axis/y-axis)
Enter a value to specify start point and end point of the axis: (type x or y axis to specify x- axis
or y- axis or type to select an object as the axis of revolution.)

SLICE
This command enable you to a new solid or a set of solid by slicing an existing solid with a plane
and removing a selected side. You may keep one or both side of the sliced solid.
Command: slice
Specify first point of the slicing plane (object/z- axis/view/xy/yz/zx/3 point)<3 point>:
Specify a point or entre an option if 3 options is used specify other two points to define the slicing
plane
Specify a point on the desired side of the plane
(Enter or select an option)

DIMENSIONAL VIEWS OF SIMPLE OBJECTS
AIM:-
To draw the three dimensional views of simple objects.
COMMAND USED:-
Rectangles, poly line, extrude and hide etc.
PROCEDURE:-
1. Click the 'gear' icon on the status bar and select "3D Basics"

2. Click on visualize to see different views of your AutoCAD objects in 3D.

3. Use the Viewport Configuration option of the Visualize tool palette and select the "Four: Left"
option. Any view or viewport configuration can be saved under a unique name. Later you can
easily restore this view when needed. Here are the preset viewport configurations that you can use
in model space.
 4. Change the view by picking in one of the viewports and selecting a new view in the droplets. See
if you can get this same configuration in your drawing.
5. To use the View Cube, you can click on different sections of the cube or on the directional letters.
You can also select a corner of the View Cube to change to isometric views. In the example below,
the highlighted corner will give you the SW Isometric view.
