Solid Body Modelling
This tutorial is about solid body modelling in Rhino, to make 3d modelling of the buildings in perspective angle.
step 1 : How to make 3D modelling from 2D drawing?
Go to the perspective page and go to layers and lock 2D layer and create a 3D layer with Massing as sub layer and make the massing layer active.
step 2 : Select the box icon in left of the screen and draw a rectangle and mention the height of the block
step 3 : To make the parapet on the block, draw a rectangle on the existing box on top surface and make offset of 6" and draw the 3D box on the inner square and as we want the depression on the top surface, type -6" .
step 4 : To remove the depressed box inside the big box , we should use the BOOLEAN DIFFERENCE command. Type Boolean difference, and go with the directions. click on the box from which you want to delete the box and enter and click on the inner box and click enter, and we get the parapet wall on the top surface.
Then, select the whole model and go to properties and you can see that it is in closed polysurface and if you dont want those lines to be seen on the block, turn off the visible in show surface isocurve.
step 5 : draw the other box taking the reference of the image , same as we did the first box and move it to the respective level with the reference line.
Rotate the box which is moved to the respective point by selecting the model and typing ROTATE command and specify the angle as 45 degrees.
step 6 : Draw the small box on top of this pillar and offset it and draw a 3D box and rise it to 6" .
step 7 : To make the second block, we have to draw the curve on the plan and raise it to the respective height same as the first block.
step 8 : To make the slopped roof for this block, we need to type move edge and adjust the height and move the point to respective height and adjust the roof.
Step 9 : To make the third block, draw the curve as we did before with the previous blocks and extrude the curve with solid ON, so that the block will be solid .
step 10 : Create the depression by drawing the curve and offset it and as same as the first block’s parapet.
step 11 : To get the small block on top of this block, draw the 3D block with the reference to the 2D drawing, and move it to the respective height.
step 12 : Create the depression for the small block on top for the parapet.
step 13 : Draw the 4th block with the reference to the 2D drawing same as the first second and third blocks are done.
step 14 : Adjust the perspective view and the rendered view and print it to JPEG format by adjusting the sheet and window. print the file raster 200–300 for medium resolution.
