Purpose

This sample residence demonstrates some of the capabilities of ADT3. A model of the residence was created and then used to produce a set of construction documents and presentation files including an animation of the framing, exterior and interior. The included methods are only one way of creating a set of construction documents.

Files

Ameri-CAD Residence.dwg

This is the primary ADT3 drawing file containing the model and construction documents. As this file contains many objects including a framing drawing that has schedule data attached for creating a bill of materials, it may take a while to load. Once the file is loaded and each tab has been generated, moving from tab to tab should be very responsive.

Ameri-CAD Residence Framing.dwg

This file contains structural objects to frame the residence. It also contains schedules of the structural objects. It is attached to the primary Ameri-CAD Residence drawing as an xref.

Ameri-CAD Residence Furniture.dwg

This file contains furniture for the residence. It is attached to the primary Ameri-CAD Residence drawing as an xref.

.JPG files

The JPG files were created in Autodesk 3D Studio Viz Rel 3. The model in 3D Studio Viz is directly associated with the Ameri-CAD Residence.dwg model using the Viz file linking feature. Any changes to existing objects in the Ameri-CAD residence can be reflected in the 3D Studio Viz rendering. To view a JPG file, simply double-click on the JPG file.

Animation.avi

The Animation.avi file was also crated in Autodesk 3D Studio Viz Rel 3. To view the animation file, simply double-click on the file.
