Introduction to AutoCAD 2010Alf Yarwood

Chapter 16 Exercise 11. Open AutoCAD 2010 with a double-click on its shortcut icon in the Windows desktop.2. Open the template acadiso.dwt.3. Construct the required building symbol drawings to a scale of 1:50.4. Save each symbol as a block within the drawing.5. Save the drawing to the file name exercise01.dwg and close the

drawing.6. Open another acadiso.dwt template.7. Left-click the DesignCenter icon in the View/Palettes panel

and select from its Folder List the drawing blocks for allexercises.dwg.

8. Left-click the cross to the left of the drawing name and left-clickagain on Blocks. The building symbols appear in the right-hand side of the DesignCenter palette.

9. Working to the scale 1:50, construct an outline of the required building plan using the Polyline tool set to aWidth of 1. Make the outer walls from plines 5 units apart and the partitions from plines at 2 units apart.

10. Drag the necessary symbols from the DesignCenter into the drawing.11. Because the symbols dragged into the drawing area are blocks they may need to be exploded (Explode

tool from the Home/Modify panel) and some trimming and stretching may be necessary in order to clearunnecessary details or to change the scale of some symbols - e.g. windows.

12. When completed save your drawing to a floppy disk with the file name 16_Exercise01.dwg.13. Close the drawing window.

Chapter 16 Exercise 21. Open AutoCAD 2010 with a double-click on its shortcut icon in the Windows desktop.2. Open the template acadiso.dwt.3. Following the same procedures as described for the drawing in answer to Exercise 1, construct the required

drawing. The two floor plans below show one possible answer to the exercise.4. Save your drawing to a floppy disk with the file name 16_Exercise02.dwg.5. Close the drawing window.


Chapter 16 Exercise 3

1. Open AutoCAD 2010 with a double-click onits shortcut icon in the Windows desktop.

2. Open the template acadiso.dwt.3. Following the same procedures as described for

the drawing in answer to Exercise 1, constructthe required drawing. The floor plan on the rightshows the resulting drawing.

4. Save your drawing to a floppy disk with the filename 16_Exercise03.dwg.

5. Close the drawing window.

Chapter 16 Exercise 4The illustrations throughout this exercise and Exercise 5 before rendering are in Visual Style/Realistic.

1. Open AutoCAD 2010 with a double-click on its shortcut icon in the Windowsdesktop.

2. Open the template 3Dacadiso.dwt.3. ViewCube/Front. On layer 0 construct

polyline outlines of the front wall of thehouse, one of the windows and the door.Each rectangle must be a closed polyline.

4. Copy the door panels to one side of thedoor and extrude them to a height of 0.5.

5. Extrude all other closed plines to a height of 1.6. Subtract the door panel extrusions of height 1 from the main

door outline7. Extrude the copied door panels to a height of 0.5.8. Subtract the door and window outline extrusions from the

wall outline.9. Subtract the window panes from the main window outline.10. Move the door panels of height 0.5 back to their correct

positions in the door outline.11. Form a union of the door outline and the door panels.12. ViewCube/Isometric. Home/View panel - Visual Styles/

Realistic to check the results.13. ViewCube//Front. Move the door and window to their

correct positions in the wall and copy the window to threeother positions within the wall.


14. ViewCube/Isometric. Check again that the model is correct.

15. ViewCube//Right. Construct the right-hand wall usingsimilar methods as when constructing the front wall.

16. ViewCube/Left. Construct the left-hand wall.

17. ViewCube/Isometric. To check.

18. Using similar methods, construct the rear wall.

19. ViewCube//Top. Form a union of the four walls.


20. Layer Blue. Construct the garage walls in a similarmanner and add the doors on layer Magenta.

21. ViewCube/Right. Layer Green. Construct apline along the edges of roof of main building.Offset by 2. Add vertical lines each end of thetwo plines and form a closed pline to extrude to aheight of 135.

22. Repeat for the roof of the garage, extruding to aheight of 55.

23. ViewCube/Top. With Ortho Mode set onmove the roofs to their correct positions on themain building and garage.

24. ViewCube/Isometric. Check that the roofsare in position.

25. ViewCube/Right. Layer 0. Construct thebrickwork for the chimney.

26. ViewCube/Top. Layer Red. Construct twocylinders for the chimney pot, subtracting thesmaller from the large.

27. ViewCube/Top. Turn layer Green off. Onlayer Cyan construct the ground floor - anextrusion 0.5 high.

28. ViewCube/Front. Copy the ground floor toform the first floor.

29. Turn layer Green back on. ViewCube/Isometric. Check.

30. ViewCube/Top. Layer Greenoff. Layer Red current. Construct theconcrete foundation and paths -extrusions 0.5 high.

31. Turn all layers back on. ViewCube/Isometric. Check.

32. 3D Navigate/Top. Layer Green. Construct garden - an extrusion of height 0.5.

33. ViewCube/Top. Layer Yellow. Construct a post with a fence. Post 3 square and 20 high extrusion. Fence30 x 1 and 17 high. Form a union of the two extrusions, copy and rotate to form a fence around the garden,leaving spaces for doorway and garage entrance. Turn all layers other than Yellow off and form a union ofall the parts of the fence.

34. ViewCube/Isometric. Check.35. Partly open the front and garage doors by rotation in Top and Right views. The result is shown on the next

page in a ViewCube/Isometric view.

Note The model is now ready for rendering.

1. Turn off all layers other than 0 and Blue.


2. Set Sun Status on in the Render/Sun & Locationpanel.

3. From the All Palettes palette, select Masonry and fromthe Masonry icons right-click on the top icon in the listof masonry icons and Drag the icon onto the 3D model.

4. Make settings in the Available Materials in Drawingas required.

5. Call the Render Region tool and render the walls and chimney.


6. Turn all layers except Magenta and Red off and apply the material Finishes, Painting, White to the doorsand windows, but change its colour to Blue.

7. On layer Green apply the material Masonry, Sandblasted Grey to the roofs of the house and garage.Adjust the colour.

8. Apply the material Finishes, Flooring, Tile to the floors and set Units to Millimetres and Tiling to 20 and20.

9. Apply the material Concrete, Cast, Plane, Flat Finish to the paths.10. After checking and adjusting lighting the result of a rendering is shown below.4. Save your drawing to a floppy disk with the file name 16_Exercise04.dwg.5. Close the drawing window.

Chapter 16 Exercise 51. Open AutoCAD 2010 with a double-click on its shortcut icon in the Windows desktop.2. Open the template acadiso.dwt.

3. Layer 0. In a similar manner to the construction of thewalls in Exercise 4, construct the walls of the garage,working to a scale of 1:50. Form a union of the wallsusing the Union tool.

4. On layer Blue construct the window frames and thedoor frame.

5. On layer Green construct an extrusion for the roof.

6. On layer Magenta, construct the floor - anextrusion of height 1.


7. On layer Blue construct the door.

8. Apply materials as follows:Walls: Masonry, Brick, Modular, English.Roof: Masonry. Sandblasted, Tan.Floor: Masonry, Scored, Running.Window frames and door frame: Finishes,Painting, Varnish.Door: Woods, Plastic, PVC.

9. Render the model.10. Save your drawing to a floppy disk with the file name

16_Exercise05.dwg.11. Close the drawing window.

Note - renderings of Exercises 4 and 5 Adjustment as to Type, Template, Color, Shininess etc. in theMaterial Editor had to be made for each materials to ensure therenderings were as desired. The units and tiling in the MaterialScaling & Tiling also had to be adjusted for the brick and roofmaterials.


Additional exercise The first of the three drawings below is a site location plan of a development which includes a small bungalowto be built on Plot 5. The second drawing on the next page is a site plan for the development and the thirddrawing is a second site plan for the bungalow on Plot 5 showing more detail.
