AutoCAD LT - Drawing 3D Shapes This is my beginning fourth dimension always to use any Autocad production and it is not even a full version. I have been using Floorplan3D to develope rough drawings of rooms on our campus. Since that program is limited in its abilities I was forced to practice some of the more detailed work using Microsoft Powerpoint. That too has its limits and then my dominate has asked me to utilise Autocad to develope proper dimensioned drawings of the project, but the merely production available was Autocad LT.
I am laying out the floorplans and elevations of equipment rooms that testify devices mounted on walls, conduits projecting from the floor, etc. I but spent 2 hours in Autocad LT trying to construct a elementary two" diameter cylinder to represent 1 of the conduits. I gave up. The online help talks about UCS coordinates and wireframe modeling. I accept no idea what UCS means. I know what wireframe modeling is but accept no thought how to construct it.
Should I give upward now, or is in that location some simple concept that I need to grasp that will brand all of this autumn into place? I am not an idiot and take spent many years drawing rooms and devices in second and 3D without any trouble. But getting a simple shape together in Autocad seems to be a task.
Can I choose a cylinder object from a menu and then only enter the dimensions? Can this also be done for other shapes similar boxes and rectangles? These were the skilful points most Floorplan3D. I could just choose an object like a wall and elevate it onto the drawing.

Re: AutoCAD LT - Cartoon 3D Shapes I'1000 going to move this post from the tips and tricks forum as I believe it volition exist better served hither...

Should I give up now, or is there some simple concept that I need to grasp that will make all of this fall into place? I am not an idiot and have spent many years drawing rooms and devices in 2D and 3D without any trouble. But getting a simple shape together in Autocad seems to exist a chore.
Can I cull a cylinder object from a menu and then just enter the dimensions? Can this too be done for other shapes like boxes and rectangles? These were the expert points almost Floorplan3D. I could just cull an object like a wall and drag it onto the drawing.non all those who wander are lost

Re: AutoCAD LT - Drawing 3D Shapes Are y'all trying to practise this in 3D? If so, there are no 3D capabilities in AutoCAD LT, (almost all it can do is "open" and "look" at 3D models) you would have to move to at least the full version if you are wanting to create 3D objects.

Re: AutoCAD LT - Drawing 3D Shapes Well, I guess I do not demand to practice it in 3D. Just that still leaves me with how to get started.
Attached is a zipped Microsoft Powerpoint document that shows what I am attempting to reach.

Re: AutoCAD LT - Cartoon 3D Shapes All I see are bunch of lines, arcs, and circles, and those are all piece of cake enough. As far as the thicker lines, merely change the lineweight.
~scratches caput~
So, the question was what - how to draw the stuff? Line command, arc command, circle control, probably some polylines for the circuiting...I'd start with the "assist" menu.

Have you tried the forum
search facility? If no, attempt giving that ago, should plow up lots of useful data on getting started with AutoCAD / AutoCAD LT.... below are a few threads to get yous going in the right management - Looking for drawing assignments.... model-layout AutoCAD Training Have a adept one, Mike

Re: AutoCAD LT - Drawing 3D Shapes i'chiliad non sure about the autocad LT not being able to draw in 3d, but you can go decent 3d wireframe objects. if you desire a cylinder or cube (basic things) its quite uncomplicated to do.
all yous gotta practise is add thickness to the object. so lets say your looking from the tiptop view and you take a 2" conduit coming from the footing. then you depict a circle with 2" diameter. then in the properties y'all change the thickness to whatsoever length the conduit runs.
the difficult matter is positioning some of the obects and dealing with complicated shapes.its not too bad though still. i apply it quite a bit and its non the greatest but its not bad. yous can change the views and all that, default is tiptop view, and even check out the cartoon in iso view.
hope this helps you out.

Re: AutoCAD LT - Cartoon 3D Shapes You need to rotate your UCS, to practice this type in UCS (enter), information technology will ask yous which axis y'all'd similar to rotate information technology on (default is Y), utilize the "rule of thumb" imagine yourself gripping the UCS icon (thing in the bottom left mitt part of the screen) with your hand, effectually an axis and twisting it towards yourself to get the cursor onto the correct drawing aeroplane. Afterward you select an axis it will enquire you lot how many degree you'd like to rotate information technology (default is ninety). mess with it until you get the cursor onto the right cartoon plane, and then describe your circle, then draw another circle at the other "terminate" of where your piping will be, connect the quadrants of the circumvolve to one another with lines, and there you have it. A cylinder @ 2" inches or whatever dimension you lot'd like it to exist. any other questions yous can e-mail me at tony9502@hotmail.com
Hope that made sense, and i hope yous don't need any 90'southward or tee's, without true 3d your SOL.

Re: AutoCAD LT - Cartoon 3D Shapes oh... another thing you tin do to depict in 3d is with isometric snap (Describe bill of fare, Typhoon SETTINGS, snap type & style). now this isnt in actual 3d, so irresolute view ports wont prove the unlike faces.
Merely this is an easy way to depict in 3d, i judge it just depends on how good you are at visualizing in 3d. employ the F5 push button to change the airplane (x-y, y-z, x-z) your cursor will draw in. and if you wanna draw a circumvolve type in ELLIPSE, ISOCIRCLE, then choice the centre point, and then type the diameter or radius.hope this helps yous out.
