Pre-Final: Chapter 35 Exercises

This document provides instructions for a series of exercises using AutoCAD to work with 3D models and views. The exercises cover generating isometric and orthographic views, using different shading modes, 3D orbiting a model, and setting up multiple viewports. The exercises are meant to demonstrate working with 3D coordinates, coordinate systems, shading, and laying out multiple views of a model simultaneously.

PRE-FINAL

CHAPTER 35 EXERCISES

For the following exercises you will need access to the sample drawing files that are
shipped with AutoCAD. (The default installation path is C:\Program
Files\Acad2000\Sample.)

1. Isometric Views
Open the R300-20 drawing from the Acad2000\Sample directory. Activate the Model
tab. Turn On the Ucsicon and set it to the Origin.
Using 3D Views from the View pull-down menu, generate a SE Isometric viewpoint.
Next, Zoom into the assembled section of the model. For each of the following views,
notice the position of the UCS icon. Generate a SW Isometric, then a NE Isometric, and
finally a NW Isometric view. Notice how the assembled section appears to be located
above the XYplane. Do not save changes and do not exit the drawing.

2. Orthographic Views
Continue working on the R300-20 drawing. Use the Plan command to generate a plan
view of the Current UCS. Take note of the position of the UCS. Next, using 3D Views
from the View pull-down menu, generate a Front view, then a Right side view. Notice
that the Ucsicon changes to display a new coordinate system parallel to the view only
when an orthographic view is generated but not when an isometric view is generated
(since the UCSORTHO system variable is set to 1 by default). Notice also that the
assembled view of the model is located above the XYplane of the World Coordinate
System. Do not save changes and do not exit the drawing.

3. Shademode
Continue working on the R300-20 drawing. Generate a SE Isometric view. Zoom in to
one of the cylindrical components of the model. Generate a Flat Shaded and a Flat
Shaded, Edges On display. Next, generate a display of each of the two Gouraud
options and notice the smoother appearance of the cylindrical shapes. Exit, but do not
save changes to the drawing.

4. 3Dorbit
Open the WATCH drawing from the Acad2000\Sample directory. Activate the Model
tab. Does the watch appear to be assembled? Next use 3Dorbit to generate several
new viewpoints. Is the watch assembled? With 3Dorbit active, right-click to make the
shortcut menu appear and select Visual Aids to turn off the grid. Using the same
technique, turn on Gouraud shading, then generate other views. Notice that the
shading mode is “persistent” (does not return to a wireframe display when the object is
“rotated”). Next, using the right-click menu, generate a Perspective view. Finally, put
the watch into Continuous Orbit. When finished, Exit 3Dorbit, but do not save changes
or exit the drawing.
5. Viewports
Continue working with the WATCH drawing. Ensure the Model tab is active. Using the
Vports command, set up Three Right viewports on the screen and use any method to
generate the following views:
top left viewport plan view bottom left viewport right view right viewport southeast
isometric view
When you are finished, Exit the drawing, but do not save changes.
