AUTOCAD 3D HOUSE PART3 - MAKE A 3D WINDOW Video Lecture | How to create 3D House using AutoCAD? - Software Development

in this lesson we will see the method to
create a typical three panel window but
before we create the window we will see
the various objects in a window and the
dimensions of these objects in a window
basically there are three objects
there is window frame
then there are panels or shutters inside
the frame
then there is window glass inside each
panel now let's see the dimensions of
these objects the width of the window
frame is 6 centimeter the thickness of
the window frame is 10 centimeter
thickness is the surface that is going
inside
similarly shutter frame has a width of 8
centimeter
and the shutter thickness is 2 point 5
centimeter or 1 inch now you are
familiar with various objects in a
window let's make this window using
AutoCAD before we make the window we
have to turn on only those selected
layers and other layers can be kept in
the frozen state so I'll go to layer
properties manager then I'll select
layers from those and windows to walls
then I'll give freeze I'll freeze all
this layers
ok now I'll keep only those layers which
starts with 3d now I'll create some new
layers as and when required
ok now I'll just close this dialog box I
would like to start with the profile of
the window and that profile can be kept
in the same layer as that of 3d door
frame because the window frame and the
door frame is going to share the same
material so I'll start with the poly
line now I will trace the boundary here
now I'll give an offset command and I
have to give the width of the frame the
option distance is equal to the width of
the frame below the frame as we have
seen before is 6 centimeters so I'll
give 6 and I will select the object
offset and I'll pick the site offset so
I have made 2 profiles now we have to
extrude these profiles through a
distance equal to the thickness of the
frame and we have seen that the
thickness of the frame is 10 units so it
has to be taken in the negative is it
axis direction so you have to give minus
10 so it has got a thickness now when
you give shade or hide you can see that
you have two overlapping boxes so you
have to perform a subtraction operation
and just give issue 4 subtract and you
select the outer box and just give it
enter and select the inner box and enter
now you can see that you have made an
outer frame ok now we have to
make the partition frames since this is
a three panel window there will be two
partition frames so in order to get the
proper division you have to start with a
polyline here okay then I will pick a
point here and this polyline we will
divide into three equal parts
now before you divide it you have to
extend these two lines endpoints
okay through half the distance of the
frame width because the frame width is 6
centimeter so the half the distance is 3
centimeter so will give 3 centimeter
this side we will just extend it so we
have actually performed a grip editing
you know what is grip editing so just
click here you will get an active grip
and turn the cursor in the desired
direction and you type the distance it
does mode I have to perform a similar
extension operation in the other side so
I just I'll select this line and you
have got the grip and you select the
grip and you just take the cursor in
this direction this point it in this
direction now you have to type the value
which is 3 now we do this extension to
get a proper even division okay so now
I'll perform divide command so just keep
divided
I'll give divided and you select this
line that is to be divided now you have
to give it lansky for the number of
segments I'll give number of segments as
3 okay now when you give divide command
you can see that the software places
points along the length of this line
sometimes by default you won't see these
points appearing because by default a
point is displayed as a dot in AutoCAD
and whenever you want to change the
point display representation you have to
give a command called DDP type DDP type
and you will see various representations
and you can just take any desired
representation for example if I want I
can switch over to this representation
and just given okay I'll you can see
that the representation changes now I
have to draw lines to indicate
partitions so I'll just give polyline
I'll start from this point
okay I'll be able to get this point only
when the node option in object snap is
on in object snap you can see that there
is an option called load okay this
option is meant to snap on to or to
catch those points which are obtained in
AutoCAD
so I'll just snap on to this point I've
got this point you know now I'll just
draw a perpendicular to this line I've
got that line there now I can give
offset command and I should give an
offset of three units which is half the
frame width to both sides I will give a
select object as this and side as this
select object as this and side as this
through so three unit it is offset it in
both sides hence I have got a total
frame width of six units
now you can just erase this line because
it's no longer required
now now I'll connect these two endpoints
using another polyline okay
now I'll give P edit command I have to
join this into a single profile then
only I will be able to extrude it so
I'll give P edit and I will select this
polyline then I can go to join option
and I will select this line at this line
and I'll just give close to close it so
I have closed it now you can see that I
have got a single profile now this is
this can be readily extruded so I will
give extrude command but I am asked to
give height of extrusion the thickness
of extrusion
it is minus 10 now I can copy this
object onto the side onto this
particular position so I'll give copy
and I'll select this partition frame
then I will give base point as this node
and second point is again this node
because since the node is activated in
oh snap
you can readily cast this point now
you've got two partitions now we have
drawn a construction line here for
division purpose and we have two nodes
here all these objects can be erased so
I'll give you a raise command and I will
make use of a standard window to perform
the erasure operation now I have got the
outer frame as well as partition frame
and these objects can be combined as a
single object by giving the Union
command so I give Union boolean
operation and I will select this and
these two frames just give an enter now
you can see that you have made the first
object in the window which is the frame
next object is the window shutter so
since the window shutter is also going
to share the same material or finish as
that of the frame you don't have to
create any layers now I'll trace the
polyline profile over here which is the
profile for the shuttle I will connect
these end points and I will just give
close now this is the profile which is
traced now I'll give offset command and
I should offset it through a distance of
the width of the shutter and we have
seen that the width is 8 centimeter so I
will give 8 as the offset distance and I
will select the object offset and the
site offset now I have to perform a
normal extrusion so I will give extrude
I will select both these profiles and I
should give an extrusion equal to the
thickness of the shutter and we have
seen that the thickness is 2 point 5
centimeter so since it is in the
negative as a direction it has to be
minus 2 point 5 so I give minus 2 point
5 now you have to when you shade it you
can see that you have 2 boxes which are
overlapping to get the realistic frame
effect you have to perform a subtraction
so I'll give subtract and I will select
the outer and give enter and select the
inner one and give another enter now we
have made the shutter frame this is the
frame for the shutter next we will
create a vertical member and a number of
horizontal members inside the shutter
that actually supports the class so for
that I will start with the polyline from
this mid to perpendicular or to MIT to
this mid then I will just give offset
command and I will give an offset
distance of 1.5 to both sides because
this vertical member width is three
centimeter so I took one point five to
both sides now you can just connect
these two endpoints using another
polyline now I will go to P edit command
and I will select this polyline then I
will go to join option and I will select
this polyline as well as this one okay
now these three segments are single
segment you have got a message and you
have to give close here I will give
close to connect the bottom endpoints
now you can see that it is a single
closed profile now this can be readily
extruded so I will give extrude command
and the height of extrusion is 2.5 units
now you can see that you have made a
vertical member okay now we have to
create a number of horizontal members
for that you have to give a divided
command and you have to select this line
which you have drawn first to draw this
vertical member and it will ask you for
the number of segments I will give 5 as
the number of segments now we can see
that it has placed points along its
length now you have to you can draw a
horizontal member here a horizontal line
here in fact a polyline I have drawn
okay now I will move this polyline and
base point is this and the second point
is this node which is appearing here you
can select this as this
and buying ok now you have to again or
give offset 1.5 to both sides select
object offset side to offset then object
hand side now here is the centerline now
you can just draw polylines connecting
these two endpoints in fact steps are
rather similar now just give P edit and
select this then go to join option
select this polyline as well as this one
now you can just give a close ok now we
can see that you are made a single
profile now you can extrude it and and
height of extrusion is 2.5 okay now we
have made a horizontal member these
horizontal members can be copied to
other locations so I will go to copy and
I will select this base point is this
node second point is this node this one
had this one now you can erase these
nodes as well as that vertical line
which you have drawn first because you
don't need any unwanted lines in your
drawing
okay now this vertical member as well as
the horizontal member is the part of the
shutter so you can just give a union
operation and you can select this
shutter frame and this vertical member
as well as all the horizontal members we
can say that you have made a single
object now we have come to the last
element of the window which is the
window glass
since the window glass is going to have
a totally different material which is
the glass finish we have to create that
object in a different layer so I will go
to web properties manager and I will put
I will create a new layer and I'll Court
that layer named as 3d Wynn glass
okay and for that layer I will give a
color which is a bluish tint
I'll give okay now I have to make that
as the current layer so I'll just click
on current layer so that is made as a
current layer now I'll go to polyline I
have to actually position the glass the
Midway at the shutter width so I'll
start from here at the mid of this
thickness then I can come to this point
and I can come down to this point and I
will just give a close in fact even if
the glass has got a slight thickness you
don't have to create that thickness
instead you can just give a zero
thickness for this only thing is you
need a surface to indicate the glass so
I'll give a region command because you
know in AutoCAD region command can give
you a surface out of a closed boundary
so I have made a region now we can just
shade it you can see that your metal
surface there okay now here the a
problem is the window shutter and the
frame are in the same plane so when you
apply the same finish these two objects
will get merged and you won't be able to
make out the difference between the
planes even if they are in the same
plane just to distinguish these two
objects it is better to move the shutter
through a slight distance inward say I
will give more through a distance office
a two point five centimeter so let's do
that so I'll go to move command and I
will select this shutter and the glass
base point I will pick over here and I
will give a distance of say two point
five
now you can give a shade and you can
make out the difference between these
two objects because they are in a - two
different planes now let us copy the
same shutter onto the other positions so
I will just give copy and I will select
the shutter and the glass I will select
this as the base point and I will select
this as the second point you have to
choose the corresponding points okay now
you can just shade it and we have
completed the window three parallel
window now you can also move the entire
window invert along the cutout of the
wall just as you have done for the door
to feel the resist of the wall that
means a little bit of wall can be
exposed that will also add to the depth
of the 3d work so what I'll do is I'll
just give more command and I will select
the base point as this and second point
is this so the entire window is moved
inward along the cutout of the wall and
you can shade it so this recess will
give you more realism so this is how you
make a window in AutoCAD 3d but in fact
we have several other locations where in
windows in different dimensions are to
be inserted you have to stick to the
same procedure to create windows in
these respective locations
by the time you complete this your model
will appear like this so you have
windows in different locations okay so
you can make it try all the best
