AutoCAD Architecture - How to created exploded 3D view

[wanessa.lewandowska]

Hello, I need to make an exploded drawing of my project for the university and I don’t know how to do it. I looked up the internet all day long, but I still don’t know ****. There was something about an IPN presentation, but I don’t know how to do it because I don’t have any templates that I could use for it. I am very frustrated ☹ please could anyone help me with this one?

Do you mean an EXPLODED VIEW  (aka Three-dimensional (isometric) illustration that shows the mating relationships of parts, subassemblies, and higher assemblies) of your building model like these below, or something else

I believe you need to be using REVIT ARCHITECTURE, not AutoCADARCH

Are you really using AutoCAD in uni today?

In your original post, select "IPN presentation", right click and choose, search google.....  You will find that it relates to Inventor,which has a native capability to do exploded views due to it's assembly hierarchy.  If you want exploded views of architectural objects, then use Revit as @pendean suggested.

Yes, I am using AutoCAD and archiCAD.

Yeah, I found as well sth with IPN presentation on the internet, but I still don't get it right.. idk

I need an exploded view of a volume model of my project. It's just a cube with a pitched roof. Just as simple as it sounds but obviously not that simple for me, ;D I will give it a try with Revit.

With AutoCAD Architecture, make a copy of your model and move the individual parts away from each other.  Connect with projection lines.  No simple automatic approach.

I tried a similar approach creating a 3d section. Once you have your original section, copy the results and reselect-regenerate as needed for additional items. I think output and presentation would be another topic.

Just for general information to all looking at this topic, there is a way to create Exploded Views of ACA Models automatically but don't ask me how to control it.  Upload your Model(s) for viewing in the A360 Viewer and use the Explode button along with the Slider bar to do this.

I found that exporting to DWFx works best because it embeds render materials.
