Setting up a model in 3D
- [Instructor] We're starting a new chapter now, and we're going to look at placing our prefabricated unit into a 3D model, which is going to be a blank 3D drawing in this particular case. Now, the trick is here, obviously you'd have a much more sophisticated 3D model than what I'm going to give you, which is a blank 3D drawing, but the whole idea is is that we're going to place these prefabricated units as like building blocks in a construction project. So again, a simplistic take on what would normally be a sophisticated commercial operation in AutoCAD. But I'm getting you into that work flow and that process, that's the important bit, so that you can see how this all works. Now one of the ways you can do this, is to set up the 3D model first, and we're going to do that with our drawing that we've got here open as well. So we've got a new drawing for you, it's called placingtheunit.dwg. So open that drawing, and…
